Who Are The Seven?

Exploring common threads

One thing I enjoy doing when investigating religions is keeping an eye open for common threads between them. I find this helps me to understand how certain aspects of religions likely got started and perhaps even shines a light on possible truths.

Anytime you see a motif occurring in an older religion or mythology it’s a fairly safe bet that the newer religions likely copied it either from that one or a common older source. One prime example I’ve highlighted before in one of my earliest articles was the story of the Garden of Eden.

But I recently ran across another commonality between Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Zoroastrianism. Given how much older both Hinduism and Zoroastrianism are than Christianity, this piqued my interest.
