Similarities between Krishna/Jesus
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2011 8:01 pm
What was up 2000+ years ago? Why is it, I read up on different religions and I see that Shiva is similar to the Jewish God of the Bible, for being a wrathful God? Krishna came to earth as a son of God, and his Greek name translates to Christos, just like Jesus, both were visited by wise men (guided by a star), both were without sin, both celebrated a last supper, and forgave his enemies, and ascended into heaven.
Why would the Lord allow this many similarities? I know the biggest difference is Jesus Christ forgave sin for all, permantly. Karma still continues even with Krishna being gone, so a Hindu would rather become a Christian to get rid of his/her sin. But still, why all the similarities? From what I've read, these two religions have nothing in connection in terms of influence but why do they have so much in common?
