[@americanliberal09]

Except for one particular thing that in judaism. Jews actually believed that god is the creator of both good, and evil. Unlike zoroastrianism, there's no duality in the jewish religion, because god created everything.

[@Mouqawem]

how did Zoroastrianism influence Judaism when the latter is older?

[@jonathansoko5368]

These people are quite ignorant, they don't do any research before they make videos.

[@Drag0nfoxx]

Judaism, like all religions, has evolved over time. Just think about all the different prophets who lived at different times. The influence may not have been there on day one, but it certainly came in later.

[@vitoaditya1243]

@The Imperishable Star fire is symbol of light, because their god ahura mazda is portrayed as good different from ahriman who was the darkness , they not Worshiping fire .

[@nice2u278]

@The Imperishable Star If you are muslim, especially arab, you can't blame some one worshiping toward a fire, while you yourself worship the god toward a rock :/

[@hareneishnadhar]

Zoroastrianism is older. It's about as old as Vedic religion. Judaism isn't as old as Vedic religion.

[@ramadanahmed8925]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@kamleshlulla5303]

What a pity religion becoming like history making podcasts to introduce or define

[@UjangKomarudin-qo6cl]

First

[@jonathansoko5368]

It did not Influence judaism in ANY WAY. If you expect people to take you serious you have to actually research. Judaism and it's origins are far older, you're ignorant fam. Use this moment to do better instead of getting upset

[@Drag0nfoxx]

Judaism may be old but it has changed a lot over time. It is very possible to influence something that is older than yourself. Have you had no influence on your parents?

[@jamesrt5352]

Buddy you're the only one getting upset. Take your own advice and do some research. Even the concept of Satan in Judaism comes from Zoroastrianism, deriving from Angra Mainyu the evil spirit in Zoroastrianism. Furthermore, Zoroastrianism is older than Judaism. Zarathrusta/Zoroaster is generally dated by scholars to have lived in the 2nd millennium BC, sometime between 1500bc-1000bc. The kingdoms of Israel and Judah only appear in the 9th century BC, and Judaism only emerged as a monotheistic religion after being freed by the Persians from their captivity in Babylon in 539 bc.

[@vitoaditya1243]

@The Imperishable Star no, Israelite religion in origin is polytheistic, it originate from canaanite religion.

[@70ad25]

The doctrine of Judgement Day comes from Zoroastrianism which was later adopted by Judaism and then Christianity. There were many other influences Zoroastrianism had on Judaism.

[@safeesafee892]

JUDIASM came way after this religion sir

[@shamsonnessa7366]

What religion is this, it's not making any sense?

[@r.d.sandman6474]
