Dear Friends!
Here is point No 2:
There is no mention of the __expression "Amesha Spenta" in the Gathas.
Amesha Spenta, or Bountifull Inmortals, Inmortal Progressive, Holy Inmortals (Depends on which translation is used) is the definition given to the Essences of Ahura Mazda, These are Asha (Righteoussness), Vohumana (Good Mind), Khshathra (Rule), Haurvatat (integrity), Ameretat (Inmortality or Trascendence), Aramaity (Serenity). Those concepts change from one translation to other. Still scholars discusses if there are 6 or 7 Amesha Spenta, some include Spenta Mainyu (Holy Spirit, or Progresive Mentality depending on translation) but traditionally Amesha Spenta are part of Spenta Mainyu. Some Scholars include Srousha (Inner Voice).
There are much discussions but Zartusht never mention this __Expression.
However, there are mentions of Amesha Spenta in the Gatha Haptanhaiti (In Yasna 35,1) and in Hadokht Manthra (YAsna 56, stanzas 3 and 4), all of them compossed in the same dialect of the Gathas. Some scholars discusse if Yasna 35,1 indeed belongs to Yasna Haptanhaiti, but anyway, the fact is that this term appeared, if not during the life of Zartusht, no longer than 300 years after his passing away.
