From what I've learned so far, KRISHNA was BEFORE the so-called Christ's time. As I read about Krishna, I was struck by how what is expressed about him bears some similarities to the story of Christ.
Is it possible that the Bible writers copied from Krishna?

I just read some about Krishna. It mentions in the subject piece about a "divine voice from heaven, etc.
Here's an excerpt from the subject piece from under the "Birth" section:
"Krishna carried across the River Yamuna
Krishna's foster mother Yashoda with the infant Krishna. Chola period, Early 12th century, Tamil Nadu, India.
Krishna was born to Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva,[49][50] When Mother Earth became upset by the sin being committed on Earth, she thought of seeking help from Lord Vishnu. She went in the form of a cow to visit Lord Vishnu and ask for help. Lord Vishnu agreed to help her and promised her that he would be born on Earth. On Earth in the Yadava clan, he was yadav according to his birth, a prince named Kansa sent his father Ugrasena (King of Mathura) to prison and became the King himself. One day a loud voice from the sky (Akash Vani in Hindi) prophesied . . .

I found another link about Krishna; that account also has some similarities to the so-called Jesus story.
Here's an excerpt:
"Mother
Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and
rulers, appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the
Supreme Lord Vishnu, who assured him that he would soon be born on
earth to annihilate tyrannical forces."

I found yet another link about Krishna and it mentions THAT KRISHNA WAS BEFORE CHRIST.
Here's an excerpt from the subject piece:
"Indian
as well as Western scholars have now accepted the period between 3200
and 3100 BC as the period in which Lord Krishna lived on earth."
