I'd like to think so. There are historical records, though I admit any history is a bit iffy and hardier to verify farther back you go.

Majority of ancient historians agree that Christ existed, and even Dawkins agreed.

Jesus may have existed, and probably did, but there is no evidence of miracles, and anyone can tell stories.

There is an enormous amount of historical evidence that Jesus was at least a real person. There are accounts of him from documents and inscriptions. Some come from different world, and some aren't related to religion at all. It is a legitimate fact that Jesus was a real person, accepted by historians.

Even Islam admits that Jesus was a great prophet and lived a great life

Of course. Even if you’re not religious there’s historical, secular evidence proving someone called Jesus Christ of Nazareth existed.

The life of Christ is detailed in the annals of history. If Christ didn't exist, neither did Napoleon or George Washington. There is extensive verification of the texts that prove out history during the time of Christ by several, verifiable sources.

There is much evidence provided by historians who were not Christian who wrote about Jesus, such as Josephus. This is not to mention the Romans who kept meticulous records throughout their history.

Josephus is one of the best examples of evidence for this, he was a non-religious historian from last 1st century early 2nd century and he attests to both the existence of Crucifixion of Jesus. Also it should be noted we trust this historian for a very good portion of our ideas of the ancient Roman empire.

There are 12 different scholars outside of the Bible that all say Jesus lived on earth. there are only 4 scholars that day Julius Ceasar lived and we believe in him as a fact.

I think there is evidence, but evidence is not proof. I read a paper once, and I wish I could find it again. about a martyr, who was killed like a hundred years before the time of Paul who's name was Joshua--who was a leader of a failed rebellion. The writer of the paper claimed that this was the guy which became a legend and Paul used to base his theology of atonement from in order to liberate his people from the Jewish Temple cult. Anyway, I think there was some really good guy it was all based on, but he was not like a perfumer of real miracles.

Yes, there are to many recorded eye witness. In both the bible and authors of the time. Like Josephus

This question can't even be taken seriously. The question may as well have been "Did Tiberius Caesar (of the Roman Empire) Exist?" or "No, he was just a myth". LOL, even Bart Ehrman, one of the most renowned atheist/agnostic New Testament theologians on earth will tell you that. If you believe Jesus was a myth, you are literally in the realm of "alternate realities" and tin foil hats. Most atheists are in this realm.

Did Jesus exist? Yea probably, is there direct evidence? No not really, but there's not much evidence of any specific people from that time period. Now was he a magic man born from a virgin that performed miracles? I rather doubt it. In fact he wouldn't even have been the only person of that time period claiming as much. It's a story that has been rinsed and repeated through various cultures. Ancient believers didn't even deny this, they claiming that earlier stories are quite obviously trickery by the devil and his apparent fortune telling ability. That said it does bear pointing out that no biblical events have been dis-proven, and if you really don't believe in god then you should know that. From that perspective one may as well try to disprove King Arthur, how can you prove anything about it one way or the other if it never existed? It's simple you can't, also some stories from the bible may very well have been based on historical events. Look up info on King Joshua and the fate of the canaanites, last I checked there was quite a bit of debate over the evidence there. And not every historian who dated the relics found there to King Joshua's time are christian.

Yes Jesus did exist at one point in time, He was born December 25th(Which is why we celebrate Christmas that day) in the Middle-east. Between 30 and 33 AD, Jesus was crucified by the Romans.

Not judging anyone, but I don’t know, reckon he’s based off the sun tbh

So many people try to state that there is evidence That the Jesus of the Bible was a real person, yet there is no evidence at all to support the idea. That is why religious belief is called faith

listen, so if "jesus" is so great, then why isnt there a "jesus 2". ALSO when i type""""Jesus"""" it tries to autocorrect me to jalapeno, does that mean that mexicans are god????? follow me on IG @Daquan
Jesus probably did exist, but he wasn’t necessarily the “Son of God.”
