The examples on core theology are contradictory.
How so? Love God with all your heart and soul. Give charity to those less fortunate. Love your neighbor. Eat healthy and avoid indulging (and over indulging) in intoxicants of any kind that can harm the body and mind. Love your spouse (according to Islam half of one's religion is marriage). Understand that all people exist as humankind and therefore treat others with respect even in times of war.
Can you show which of the above Hinduism finds no compatibility in?
In Abrahamism there is always this need for a prophet, one guy (so far has always been male) that is the central figure, knows more than anyone else, is almost God, or God's son.
Like any religious faith or tradition isn't there always a need for a teacher? Aren't metaphysical deities always the ones teaching corporeal beings like humans things about the known and unknown? Teachers know more than students. Wise men know more than the community. There are always people that know more than the next. I'm not sure how this is so different than what Hinduism promotes in its faith.
Certainly, there is no chosen people. All people are the same, essentially, extensions of God.
Same in Islam. In fact, individualism of this kind is based on piety and how much you do for the human community.
In Abrahamism, there has to be laws. Irreffutable ones, called God's law. In Hinduism, God just is. It's men who make laws.
All major faiths have tenants and some even have legal systems that govern the communal body. Perhaps not in the canonical sense, Hindus like Jews, Christians and Muslims have laws concerning how one conducts themselves as a member of the community. I believe
Dharma, provides the legal foundation to which all others follow in Hinduism contains moral ideals in relation to the eternal order of the universe. I believe the concept can find some parallel with Abrahamic faith. The difference between Hinduism and Christianity and Islam in this context is there is no concept of
varṇāśramadharma. I'm sure some elements of the legal literature found in Hinduism found in the subcategory of smitri, of
Dharmaśāstra could have some have some comparable elements between that and elements found in the Hadith and Talmud.
By the way God's laws are not limited scripture, we can also find that God's laws are also a part of the laws of the universe as well.
Sin ... in Abrahamism, man is essentially a sinner. In Sanatana Dharma, man is essentially divine.
Of course man is divine we can see the patriarchal elements within Hinduism just like that of the Abrahamic faiths...oh wait you referring to man as in mankind? that begs to differ considering that Hindus still have this primitive system a part of their society called the caste system. The "untouchables" and how they are treated, doesn't seem divine to me. Like Abrahamism as you call it, contains similar elements in the middle eastern cultures as well as we see African Jews being mistreated similar to those untouchables in India.
Looks like Abrahamism and Hinduism is 5/5 in my book....
Sin ... in Abrahamism, man is essentially a sinner.
This is the Christian theology of original sin, there is no such concept in Judaism and Islam.....
There is no concept equivalent to karma in Abrahamic faiths. Suffering is explained by 'God does what God wants to do.
Wrong. Suffering is multifaceted and there are elements of variety that can explain why humans suffering exists. Suffering is explained by human action (and inaction) and the ability to make choices to either be obedient to a moral code or not. To transgress a moral code and not live by a common ideal of "righteousness" and "goodness" leads to suffering due to the selfishness of some of mankind's actions.
Much of Abrahamism is dualistic, much of Sanatana dharma is monistic.
There is dualism in Samkhya and Yoga schools of Hindu philosophy....
Homosexuality ... it's abhorrent in much of Abrahamism, just accepted as withingthe diversity of life in Hinduiam.
Yet homosexuality is just now starting to become accept in much of Hindu India. Homosexuality is just as taboo in the Indian-Hindu culture as it is in the Abrahamic one. I wish you would be more honest about your comparisons.
Going around looking for similarities as a focal point is pointless, in my view. It's much easier just to respect people for who they are ... human beings worthy of it.
"
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." Surah 49:13
Looks like 6/6....
Nobody is saying these faiths absolutely have to have the same belief structures but I think the fundamental elements many religions have in common is progressing human communities for self-improvement.
