Jesus Compared to Earlier Religions

Jesus was preaching to his listeners that if they did good to others, they would be rewarded with Heaven after death.  This was similar to the moral teachings of Zoroastrianism, Buddhist karma, and Hindu karma because they all taught that people would be rewarded after death for being an overall good person in their lifetime.  In Daoism, people are told how to be good people and to follow the path of righteousness, whereas Jesus is not explicitly saying how to be a good person and is making them think for themselves.  Jesus was not telling people to give up worldly pleasures as Daoism did, either.  Socrates questioned truth throughout his lifetime.  Jesus preached that the truth came from God.  These two individuals differed in the fact that, Socrates, who never fully believed in the truth, is the opposite of Jesus, who received the truth to spread from God.
