How would you argue that Judiasm/Christianity is actually inspired by God and didn't evolve from Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile?
How do you know that Zoroastrianism was the same?How would you argue that Judiasm/Christianity is actually inspired by God and didn't evolve from Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile?
Modern Zoroastrianism as an organized religion didn’t originate until well into the Sassanid era. Even the earliest copies of the Zoroastrian scriptures the Avesta date to the Sassanid era. There was no such thing as Zoroastrianism (as it now is) during the Achaemenid empire, Persians had their own traditional gods much like the Babylonians and other pantheons albeit with more mysticism. Zoroastrianism incorporated the traditional Persian religions into a dualistic faith. With the various deities taking on the roles of semi gods subservient to Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrianism, if anything was the one that copied the idea of Monotheism (even though Zoroastrianism isn’t entirely Monotheistic) off of Judaism and Christianity and not the other way around. Zoroastrianism underwent serious evolution after its contact with Judaism and later Christianity, if Judaism and later Christianity were the ones that evolved from Zoroastrianism then you’d expect to see major changes after the two faiths had contact after the exile, however we see quite the opposite.How would you argue that Judiasm/Christianity is actually inspired by God and didn't evolve from Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile?

I'd argue that Judaism was influenced by Zoroastrianism, just as Christianity was influenced by Judaism.How would you argue that Judiasm/Christianity is actually inspired by God and didn't evolve from Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile?

Does Zoroastrians claim that all men are sinners (i.e. just thought is enough to sin, hate= murder and lust=adultery)?
Does Zoroastrians claim that men can't save themselves but only through grace of God?
Maybe a little study is required to answer that. For me it always helps if ones interest is pursued by ones own heart.

What you will find is a Faith in tune with what Jesus the Christ taught, albeit a lot older.
