Judaism had the overwhelming influence on Christianity. Zoroastrianism was a side show of mostly forgotten, and obscure beliefs that were occurring alongside the history of the Jews. It is a myth that Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism let alone Christianity. Numerous Christian Bible writers reveal the fulfillment of prophecies first named in the Hebrew scriptures. Others repeat what the Hebrew prophets revealed, indicating a future or greater fulfillment yet ahead. The two parts of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments work hand in glove together and a close study of them both reveal how tightly interwoven that they are.

It is difficult to ignore the common symbols that appear in all religions right back to the most ancient ones and see how they have been embraced and included in most sacred texts. All Christians could not help but recognise the similarity of the metaphors and symbols of Zoroastrism and Mithrism. Example - this quote - "Mithraism and Judaism merged and became Christianity. Jesus, son of the Hebrew sky God, and Mithras, son of Ormuzd are both the same myth. The rituals of Christianity coincide with the earlier rituals of Mithraism, including the Eucharist and the Communion in great detail. The language used by Mithraism was the language used by Christians. St Paul as the first "Christian" bears much of the responsibility for merging the two in his preaching and teaching, and also comes from Tarsus, a major Mithraist center. The idea of a sacrificed saviour is Mithraist, so is the symbolism of bulls, rams, sheep, the blood of a transformed saviour washing away sins and granting eternal life, the 7 sacraments, the banishing of an evil host from heaven, apocalyptic end of time when God/Ormuzd sends the wicked to hell and establishes peace. Roman Emperors, Mithraist then Christian, mixed the rituals and laws of both religions into one. Emperor Constantine established 25th of Dec, the birthdate of Mithras, to be the birthdate of Jesus too. The principal day of worship of the Jews, The Sabbath, was replaced by the Mithraistic Sun Day as the Christian holy day. The Catholic Church, based in Rome and founded on top of the most venerated Mithraist temple, wiped out all competing son-of-god religions within the Roman Empire, giving us modern literalist Christianity. Just a bit of trivia - If you look at the symbol of the Mazda car you will see that it is a stylised version of the winged god - and where the name Mazda came from ..... well ...Ahurmazda

Actually, God told his people first what He was going to do. Pagans through Nimrod successfully rationalized Nimrod as fulfilling God's prophecies. Then Jesus comes along and actually fulfills them. Hence the confusion and controversy between Christian doctrine and pagan mythology.

Zoroastrianism does not appear on the historical timeline until much, much later than Judaism. In fact, there is a decent amount of support that it actually stems from Judaism. Many believe that, during the exile, when the Hebrews were taken to Persia, they intermingled there and the religious beliefs combined to form Zoroastrianism, which is why it is so similar to Judaism.
