M.BELL Well so far you have produced nothing of any substance in achieving your goals. I believe I browsed somewhere on another post on this thread about the date of the story of Krsna? Perhaps that could be reposted to ascertain its strength or weakness? MCGILL

M.BELL OK. So how are you going to rule out coincidences or for that matter the Christian belief that where there is the genuine there will be the counterfeit, close but not the same? MCGILL

M.BELL Let's stick to Krsna for the present. MCGILL

M.BELL So far you have offered nothing of substance to support this. Every attempt you have made has been rebutted. MCGILL

M.BELL Yes, but not an incarnation of God the Father right? MCGILL
> Both Jesus and Krishna had God (Vishnu and
> Jehovah), as their father. Both were suppose [sic] to be human and
divine. M.BELL So are Vishnu and Krsna both 'the Supreme Personality of Godhead' or just Krsna? Are Vishnu and Krsna one person or two persons? <snip> Thanks Matt Bell
