Melchizedek Gospel—Response in the Occident (Part 4)

The cult of Mithras arose in Iran and long persisted in its homeland.  By the time Mithraism reached Rome, it had become greatly improved by the absorption of many of Zoroaster's teachings.  It was chiefly through the Mithraic cult that the religion of Zoroaster exerted an influence upon later appearing Christianity.  During the third century after Christ, Mithraic and Christian churches were very similar both in appearance and in the character of their ritual.
