Zoroastrianism as main source of Juda Jesus worship is 'clear'.

Probably via influences coming from Zoroastrian circles in Egypt

Jesus as infant MIGHT have spent some years in Zoroastrian circles in Egypt

How, Western Christian, scholars fight about Zoroastrianism being dualist or not, is not really interesting.

It is obviously not easy to 'see' Zoroastrianism without use of 'catholic' specs.

In Zorastrianism under whatever name 'good' and 'evil' are seen as a unity.

'Good' is not definitive, but what is temporarily locally accepted/not-dangerous..

Totally unlike the absolute 'natural laws' in Catholicism

Zarathushtra never elaborated on the creator of evil, he does emphasize though the existence of twin tendencies accepted/unaccepted

There are many differences in local shapes of Zoroastrianism. From fundamental to relative.

The oldest purely monotheistic faith in the world is Zoroastrianism, originating in ancient Persia around 3,500 years ago. It has influenced other religions and cultures by introducing concepts such as the belief in one supreme god, the idea of a cosmic battle between good and evil, and the importance of ethical living.

When did monotheism begin?

The traditional by Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that monotheism has existed since the time of creation. However, many scholars say that Judaic monotheism is of quite late origin. Given that Zoroastrianism is likely to be the earliest essentially monotheistic religion, then monotheism began when Zoroastrianism was founded - somewhere around 1700 BCE to perhaps 2000 BCE.
