Actually, many people do think they are reflected in his teachings in the Gospels...most Christians won't accept it, but much of what Christ said was not new...what I mean is, it may have been new to his people, but much of what he said had also been said in other parts of the world by other people...but then I no you will not accept this, even though it is documented (just as Jesus's life and teachings are).

In other words
>Christ does not reflect a
>person who had been through
>any of those religious systems.

Actually, he is extremely similar to many people from other systems...for example, since I used Krishna before, I will use him again: Both were of a virgin birth, both their names mean the same thing (Christ comes from the Greek Cristos, and the word Krishna in Greek means the same as cristos. Christ in Sanskrit is Krista, and has the same meaning as Krishna), both were considered the son of God, both's coming were foretold, both were born in unusual places, Christ was a shepherd, Krishna was a cowherd, both's teachings emphasised love and peace, etc, etc....but that's been posted here already...I know we were initially talking about Christ's teachings, but you were wrong about what you've just posted above.

I do not know your point of saying this? Are you trying to show me that you know the Gita? Are you trying to show the differences between Christianity and Hinduism? I never said that Christ was necessarily teaching what Krishna taught word for word...I was just saying he may have been INFLUENCED by him.

Are you sure? That may your perception do to your Christian bias. Krishna is only a temporary incarnation?? Depending on what sect you speak to, you may get varying answers to this. Incarnation of a panthesistic God??
