There is a lot of historical evidence that Jesus existed. You say a book is not evidence, but that means that there is no evidence that anyone existed in the past. Because all you have is written accounts of they're lives. There are a myriad of written accounts of Jesus life written by different people.
Well that's true, there is no direct evidence for many people ever existing. It is still accepted though that some people have existed by historical events. Maybe Jesus did exist, maybe he didn't - maybe he wasn't who everyone says he was or perhaps he was.
I can accept that it is accepted that Jesus existed, but I can't accept that the bible is accurate when it is REVISED...When the original text has been rewritten and things added, removed etc..it's very hard to believe in such as fact.
Hello guys!, well first of all let me say that :I didnt mean for you take my post so seriously!, hey i said i was only joking about Jesus being Asperger!?!..you should read my thread through.
However on the facts thing that Jesus as a person existed, i wasnt kidding.
Bizarre, thats exactly what i meant, you are right.
Crywolf Who mentioned the bible?!..only you did, not me, I agree with you that the bible can´t be accepted as accurate enough like you said but I wasnt talking about the bible itself but about many other wellknown historians (nothing to do with christianity) who wrote about Jesus, sources are:
Passages relevant to Jesus in the works of four major non-Christian writers of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries – Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny the Younger – as well as others
And what is also relevant are the Jewish Records: The Talmud Sanhedrin 43a, which dates to the earliest period of composition.
Jews don´t believe in him as the "Messiah", however they dont deny of his existance, as a historical person.
I´d agree with you if the bible was the only source of reference, fortunately or unfortunately, ther are others .
Adios! peace out!,
