mani writes: If we may compare a bit further, Krishna and Jesus occupy similar, though not identical, positions, since Jesus is also fully God in the incarnation, yet at the same time, he was a great teacher. _________________ I was of the impression Jesus according to bible was not an incarnation or God. He did mention several times references to "Father in heaven" He according to me, was termed in several places as - "son of God" My only contention is that, irrespective of the similarity between the teachings of gita and bible, the character krishna is identified with God. and that rangacharya's sentence - pertaining to "knowledge of God" of these preachers seems definitely mistable, even though his intention may not be what I indicated in my last mail. In many places in the torah - Moses is described to be an agent of God. regarding Jesus, if mani feels that "Jesus is also fully God" - this could be a perception by few of the christian churchs and not an indication in the bible. I need a clear citation from the bible against my views to change it . I am willing to learn. I know very little of bible. krishna
