Did Jesus ever exist?

Some of the historical proofs for Jesus, backfire on the Christians.
-------------------------------------------
"You see, these misguided creatures start with the general conviction that they are immortal for all time, which explains the contempt of death and voluntary self-devotion which are so common among them; and then it was impressed on them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws. All this they take without evidence, with the result that they despise all worldly goods alike, regarding them merely as common property." (Lucian of Samosata-THE DEATH OF PEREGRINE -169 CE)

-------------------------------------------

".........do all things which have been written in the law: and then perhaps you shall obtain mercy from God. But Christ — if He has indeed been born, and exists anywhere — is unknown, and does not even know Himself, and has no power until Elias come to anoint Him, and make Him manifest to all. And you, having accepted a groundless report, invent a Christ for yourselves, and for his sake are inconsiderately perishing."" (Justin Martyr-Dialogue with Trypho-chapter 8)

I have a 14 part series posted called "Proof of Jesus?" which covers all the historical texts that the Church holds as evidence for a historical Jesus. You can hear about and read the unedited texts for yourself.

Find Him, Jesus, the Christ for yourself. He's alive and well. Lean not to your own understanding. You seem like an intelligent man, but there is infinite expanse of knowledge that is unknowable to man in our present condition. When you are alone just ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you in a way that you can too believe, noone will have to know but you. Please don't wait to late. May God bless and enlighten you to the truth through and in Jesus christ.

@ministeroffire1970, Jesus the Christ means, "God saves the anointed ones". Sadly, you are placing all your hope of salvation, on the works of a fictional character. There is not one scrap of evidence that Jesus or the Apostles ever existed. Hosea 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

he don't exist now but every scholar/Historian says he did at one time. Now if you refute this (which you do) we need to see your degrees guy? Because EVERY RELIABLE HISTORIAN BIBLE SCHOLAR (Agnostic Atheist and Christian) clearly agree he was here. I looked over you'r Videos and you look and sound right, but when I compare you with a Well know and established REAL Scholar Bart D Ehrman (agnostic) he refutes your teachings with more solid PROOF for the Historical Christ

[ForBibletruth]

@daytonohiofellowship, Are you incapable of thinking for yourself? Are you unable to read a text and determine if it really says what others say it says? Degrees are earned by parroting information passed down by others. The passage in Josephus has been shown to be a forgery for several centuries, yet, Erhman points to it as proof that Jesus existed, while at the same time he denies the entire passage is true-Why? Has he ever studied these historical texts? No, he has not.

@ForBibletruth

Do you think it would be cool if he came in Human form to show he really does exist?

[ForBibletruth]

@TheKoodude7, No. How could the supreme power that created and controls the entire universe be confined as a man? Does the wind have to become a man so people believe it exists?

[onixya1969]

It makes me laugh when religious people tells me that if I don't believe in God, or if I am an atheist, then life is not worth living. You just trashed the beauty and the experience of having friends, a family, a career, exploring nature, and so on. As if the only way to make live worth living is through God. Then why don't you just shoot yourself, since after all, what counts belongs to the after life, uh? :P

The first records to have ever been found that talk about jesus was almost 500 years after he had lived. And nothing was found in the way of proof that he ever lived, just stories. Fact is fact, you are a liar because there is no record of him being alive. I have many sources that confirm this, just like there is no proof Egyptians ever had Jewish slaves that they had let free, nor anything about a man named Moses, another STORY from the bible that isnt based on fact.

[MeanKno]

@ForBibletruth Actually, Richard Carrier agrees with you and he is a historian.

[Electrogravitics666]

If you try to think logicly about religion the only way Jesus could possibly be born and be special is if Mary was abducted by aliens and given an artificial insemination, so she had a half human half alien God like son. For example, would aliens coming down from the heavens with advanced technology be described as Gods coming down from the heavens? Try to use science to describe the phenomena in the bible and stop beliveing in someting that couldnt possibly happen.

Btw I agree
