Zoroastrianism

Zoroastrianism...a religion that came before Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Derived in Persia from possible Greek influences. This is considered the FIRST actual monotheistic religion.

Zoroastrianism has its own SUPREME BEING (GOD) and its own Devil (SATAN)

Zorastrianism also has its own "Armaggeddon" (Apocalypse) and its OWN SAVIOR (like our Jesus)

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam came much later. Many theologists already agree that the THREE MAJOR RELIGIONS all took influence and thier ideas from Zoroastrianism.

I CHALLENGE anyone who is Christian, Muslim, or Jewish to GOOGLE Zoroastrianism up, then tell me your thoughts.

What about Buddhists? 😆

All religions are welcome to debate here, ofcourse. But Buddhism did not derive from Zoroastrianism, so Buddhism owes nothing to this ancient religion.

If one researches Zoroastrianism it will be made clear to them that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all have taken MAJOR influence on the mythology of this religion.

I am wondoring if Christians, Jews and Muslims will disregard this religion as a mere "coincidence" or take this into consideration.

Actually I think Judaism predates zoroastrianism, but it(judaism) was influenced by it(zoroastrianism) while the Jews were captives in babylon and persia.

Black Rob....god job ! Your debate was very imformative, you got to the point, and its very hard to argue with anything you just said.

NICE !

I got my information on Zoroastrianism from Wikipedia (which is on OKAY source of info) and www.godchecker.com

Gochecker.com gives you the origin and information on EVERY RELIGION and MYTHOLOGY

That's how i found out about Zoroastrianism.

Ahh..I'm dissapointed. I had hoped that more Christians, Jews and Muslims would comment on this 🙁

Was I the only christian in here?

I think you and Black Rob were.

Well thank you guys....you guys actually had the GUTS to comment here, and for that I respect you .

All religions tend to draw from prior popular religions. For example, Greek mythology probably had basis in the animist religions of early man, at a far stretch. After all, they had a god for animals and a god for fire and a god for this and a god for that, as the ancient men did.

Safe to say most monotheistic relgions drew from Zoroastrianism to some degree. I haven't really looked into it.

Judaism actually came before Zoroastrianism (way before). But how we know it today was influenced by Zoroaster's teachings.

Did Judaism really come first? Okay let me check my sources and see if i overlooked something.....

But at the same time, I'd like to know what sources you found that Judaism came first, because I have looked at many sources and cannot find anything that supports that.

Ah what a dissapointment that SO FEW can debate this.

It should be apparent that all religion is based upon the same root truth that was known at the beginning of mankind. One God that created everything.
On another note, Judaism likely did predate or originate at nearly the same time as Zoroastrianism as there is time period yet established by history and archaeology during which Judaism did not exist. Abraham (circa 2800 BC) shows that Judaism existed in Shinar at the same time it existed in Jerusalem, showing Judaism was already a wide reaching and truly ancient religion.

Because few people are familiar with Zoroastrianism. At heart, this is about religion having deeper roots in and borrowing elements from other religions, whether it' s Zoroastrianism or any other.
