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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 1995 Report Share Posted February 27, 1995 Jesus is very clearly "fully God". This is the position of all Christian churches, except for the Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses. God is perceived in orthodox Christianity as a Trinity -- He is threefold, yet at the same time, One God. There is the "Father who is in Heaven", the Son (Jesus, the incarnation), and the Holy Spirit, the essence of God that guides people's hearts. Notice the parallelism between the Srivaishnava concept of the Paravaasudeva, the Vibhava avataara (Rama, Krishna, etc), and the haarda (the incarnation of the Lord in the heart). Don't get confused by Jesus's recommendations to honor the Lord in Heaven. That is the same as Krishna saying in the 18th chapter, "Worship Him". (I have had several discussions with Christians on this subject, and I attended a Catholic church semi-regularly for about a year.)
