While on the other hand the logical problem of evil is seen through our own eyes. It bares the question whether God is a perfect because of all wrong taking place in the world. Through these two problems it is hard to even imagine that God is perfect.

    Judaism and Zoroastrianism are similar in many ways, but have important key differences. Judaism sees their god as a combination of divine mercy and divine justice, while Zoroastrianism views their god to have a power that is a combination of 6 celestial beings. These beings are called “Amesha Spenta". Nigosian stated, “Ahura Mazda's spiritual powers (menog) consist of a group of six celestial beings (sometimes thought of as archangels), called "Amesha Spenta" (or" Amahraspand," meaning "Holy Immortal" or "Bountiful Immortal"), who stand second in rank to Ahura Mazda and who, with Ahura Mazda at their head, form a heptad.” Basically Zoroastrianism acknowledges the belief in other spiritual beings only if they considered as like a second part to their mighty God, almost like they are his helpers.…

    There is a famous passage in Second Isaiah, composed during or after the Exile, which is sometimes cited as a Jewish rebuke to the Zoroastrian idea of a dualistic God: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7) This passage, which is a major source for Jewish speculation on the source of good and evil in the world, denies the Zoroastrian idea of a God who is the source only of "good" and favorable things. The philosophical minds of the two cultures may indeed have recognized each other as fellow monotheists, but this central Jewish doctrine is one which was not learned from the Zoroastrians.…

    One of the similarities shared by the two religions is the similarity between the prophet of Ahura Mazda, Zarathustra, and the Christian Messiah, Jesus. For example, the two religious icons have supernatural births (born of virgins), youthful wisdom, religious turnings at the age of thirty, early religious bents, fitness and preeminent responsiveness (Applegate, Zoroastrianism and its probable influence of Judaism and Christianity, 193). Each religion has its form of “Original Sin”. Zoroastrianism’s “Original Sin” is the Shaoshyant, Yama, thinking a bad thought and releasing the Evil spirits on to the world, which brings the end of human immortality and starts the battle between good and evil; whereas, in the Christian religion, Adam and Eve partake in the forbidden fruit and lose their immortality, home in the Garden of Eden, and have to atone for their sins (a form of good vs evil). In addition, the symbolic role of light and fire in the religions is very similar.…

    It conveyed a vision of relentless cosmic conflict based on a dualistic reality into the Persian mythology (“Myths Encyclopedia”, par.1). As an intrinsic property of life, the concept of the dualistic reality is referring to the coexistence of good and villain that leads to a continuous cosmic war over their share in human life. Zoroastrianism introduced Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, as the creator, and the god of goodness, light and truth. Due to the underlying concept of dualism in Zoroastrianism, there is an equal opposite power emerging from the darkness, evil and lies that can create vermin, and bring diseases and destructions to the world (Ebrahimi,…
