Well it's possible that Hebrew, being an Oriental religion has some common ideas with the earliest ideas that existed in the East.

The problem with Hindu beliefs seem to be that they were corrupted with man-made ideas that over time, just grew worse and worse with vain imaginings.

It stands to reason that in the last 3,000 years there have been a number of Hindu Calvins...

I'm assuming that this is a typo...

Actually, Hinduism started out as a purely Aryanic religion (the Gods of the Vedas are similar to the Gods of the Hittites and the Nordic gods and the Irani pre-Avestani gods) with their two families of gods: Ahuras/Asuras/Aesir and Devas/Daevas/Vanir. Then it merged with Dravidian religions and you got Shiva and Vishnu and then it added on various ideas from Greeks and also from local kings and queens who fought against the invasions of the Greeks, Kushans, White Huns, Scyths etc. (the goddess Devi for example)
