How is it that we know the history and founders of four of the five main world religions: (Judaism - Abraham, Buddhism - Buddha, Christianity - Christ Jesus, Islam - Mohammed) but not of Hinduism?
I ask this question, first because I find such things interesting and secondly, because if you know the history of something, you know the identity behind it. If you know the identity behind something, you also know how to argue/discuss the truth or the falsehood from a historical standpoint (discussing it from a spiritual perspective isn't difficult). We know why Judaism is superior to the other three religions, but even it doesn't stake up to the grace and hope found in Christianity. And both Judaism and Christianity can be verified, as they are firmly rooted in human history. There's even evidence for China being a country that worshipped the one true God before paganism took over and in a big way, so that accounts for Buddhism etc. not being the most ancient religion in the East (although you could be forgiven for not knowing that to be true).
For example, how would you witness to Hindus in a manner that they find relevant, if you and they don't know the birthplace of their religion? Of course, the Holy Spirit plays His role by way of revelation in speaking to their spirit to reveal their need for a Saviour.
Still, I would like to know when Hinduism originated and who founded the religion.
Thanks, guys.
