Certainly it is possible. For me there is an understanding that allows for all Holy Text to exist in harmony, but that is a different issue for a different time.
John 1 : 9 says that the Christ is the light that lights all men that come into the world. The tree of llife. So in that sense The Christ (the divine love of God) exist in all of us as long as we are alive. The key is realizing this spirit of love.
In order for this to happen the ego (that part of consciousness that judges good and evil) must die to reveal the indwelling Christ (the Son of God) and being reborn. For those who love God, all things work for good. We are after all, Joint heirs through Christ and thus sons of the living God. These are the words of Jesus.
So yeah, they could be. The teachings and words seem very apparently similar between Jesus and Buddha. Muhammed is definitly a prophet.
The indewlling Christ (in the gospels) / being God conscious and attained to faith (In the Quran) / Krishna consciousness (in the Bhagavad Gita) and the 10 lights of the Sefirot (Jewish mysticism in the Zohar) could all be different perspectives of the same state of consciousness that is the realized goal of all Holy Text and all the revealed words of God. All meant to show us the divine love of God both within us (as perceived) and without us revealed in the radiance that surrounds everything.
GOOD QUESTION!
Ask some more like this!
Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,

Yes...I believe that the Hindus of a certain sect believe that those three (or at least Buddha and Jesus) are all incarnations of Vishnu (maybe Krishna...I don't remember). And the Ba'hai faith claims that all gods of every religion are all the same entity (or something to that effect). As far as I am concerned, it is a very real possibility if you try to wrest the core concept of a deity away from the needless and excessive religious doctrine.

Well, anything is possible. It's has the same probability as me being the reincarnation of Jesus.

I do know that there are many Buddhists (especially western ones) who believe Jesus to be a reincarnation of Buddha. many of the messages attributed to Jesus are quite similar to eastern philosophies.

No. Buddha was a philosopher, Muhammad was a con man and Jesus was the perfected human that briefly contained the Christ Spirit.

This is what persons like myself) from certain Hindu faiths believe. "whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in disorder, I incarnate to protect the good, do away with evil, and restore the order of the universe. I am born from age to age."

If this is true, then the spirit must lose a bit of wisdom each time it reincarnates.

That would be amusing. Just think, the Muslims and the Christians would no longer have anything to fight about.

That would be interesting, a celibate Rabbi and a pedophile.
