Christianity and Hinduism

[Dragoon]

Christianity:

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."
-2 peter 3:8


Hinduism:

"By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together form the duration of Brahmā’s one day. And such also is the duration of his night."
-bg 8:17



Mysterious and fascinating. Religious knowledge.

[Dragoon]

How about the trinity/trimurti:

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva

or

Resurrection in Christianity
and
Siva resurrect Ganesha (father revives son)?

or

Christianity has guardian angels
Hinduism has devas

Christianity has demons and trouble makers fight good
Hindu has asuras and trouble makers and fight good

or

Prajapati is also creator and created vedas
like God created angels and all creation.

Maybe some mistakes but similar?

One night in Brahma's time is like 4.32 million or billion years not 1,000.

Thus a day of Brahma, Kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two Kalpas constitute a day and night (Adhi Sandhi) of Brahma. A Manvantara consists of 71 Mahā-Yuga (306,720,000 solar years). Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu.

Can you translate this:

sahasra-yuga-paryantam
ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ
rātriṁ yuga-sahasrāntāṁ
te ’ho-rātra-vido janāḥ

Can you translate this:

sahasra-yuga-paryantam
ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ
rātriṁ yuga-sahasrāntāṁ
te ’ho-rātra-vido janāḥ

At a cursory glance:

The end of 1,000 yugas --
This is a day in the life of Brahma (?)
The end of 1,000 yugas is one night.
Thus, beings (janaaha ?) have knowledge (viduhu ?) that this is a day and a night (?).

Something like that. My Sanskrit is rusty. I haven't studied it in two years.

Okay will have to learn what some of those other terms are.

Can you lecture the OP about how the two religions have nothing in common?

And how Hinduism predates Abrahamic monotheism by at least 2000 years.

They have some similarities and obvious differences.
As for age it depends on if you include Vedic religion or more modern Hinduism or what time you believe Judaism became monotheistic (i.e Babylonian Exile, Hellenic period, etc).
There are also similarities and differences between plenty of religions. Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, philosophies of hellenics, cynics, etc.

Have anything productive to add?
