HINDUISM founded by the Aryans between 1400 BC to 1100 BCĪccording to the Encyclopedia of World Religions (1988), under the Chapter on ‘Brahmanism,’ which is an ancient Indian religious tradition that is associated with forms of Hinduism, Jainism and even Buddhism, they write: “whatever may have been the history of the Aryans, by whom the Vedas were produced, previous to their entering India, it is certain that when they did so, long before Buddhism took its rise, in the sixth century B.C., they had developed religious ideas and conceptions …with similarities to …the Greeks and which suggest, if they do not prove, that the European and Hindu Aryans sprang from a common stock. Although, the religion begins with Adam and his linage, the Jewish name comes primarily from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, grandson of Abraham. They believe in the resurrection of the dead. They believe in the Messiah (although they do not believe He has already come). They have the Hebrew Bible or TaNaKh – an acronym for Torah (5 books of Moses), Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (writings). Their laws come from the Torah also called the Hebrew Scriptures. Jews believe in God (Yahweh, Yehovah also call Adonai – Lord, Master) the Creator of heaven and earth and man (Adam), and that God commands us to worship no other gods. Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion (belief in one God). JUDAISM (the Jewish religion) founded: by God 5777 years ago
PART II: some basic information on a few religions article written 2016: Sources include, CIA Factbook, Operation World, etc. Includes agnostic and atheist growing significantlyģ rd Principle: ‘acceptance’ – ‘diverse and inclusive’ beliefs, seeking ‘higher Power’ Other articles will further examine and reveal history and teachings of many of the following listed. The purpose of this article is only to provide basic information on the religion listed. However, the Jewish religion came first in history and geographically in the ‘Fertile Crescent’ of Asia from which college texts agree civilization began. It first speaks of mythology, ‘uncivilized peoples,’ tribalism in Africa and mysticism in India. The Encyclopedia of World Religions (1988) was said to have been organized both ‘geographically and historically’ and follows that secular pattern. I find it interesting that many college texts and bookstore texts – nearly all from secular sources since the mid-1900s place the Jewish and Christian religions in the back. World Religions should be examined by their place in history, dominance and truth.
