Jesus Christ was a real man. Was he actually the son of God? You decide. I know this because it said in my history book.
The only "proof" we have is scripture and tradition..
It is a fact proven by several nonreligious historic writtings, including a slave historian named Josephus and a well known Roman named Pliny, that a man named Jesus from Nazareth, a jewish carpenter by trade did in fact exist and created and lead a very popular, dangerously popular, religious sect around the early part of the new Roman Empire and caused both the Romans and the Jewish leadership quite a few headaches.
Then, of course, there were very real religious texts like the dead sea scrolls (named for where they were found) that became the modern Bible.
Do u know the entire history of the dead sea scrolls & its way of reception by the Christian's? Or just the part that u were told? Just curious!
i think its all meanly faith it just depends if you belive in him or not
Yeah same here. I don't know, I've never seen actual proof but I'm a Christian. So idk it's just something I don't question. Just go with it :)
well, there is no proof. most people would say you have to have faith. but i am agnostic, which means that i believe there could be a higher power, as in a god, but i don't have proof so i don't believe it all. there is no scientific proof, which means that anything could be possible i guess.
its called heaven and once we get there we will see
The idea behind the man was immortalized in those times godly kindess but he himself was not.
some scientists say the desert was once covered in water because people found shells there but i bet Noah's flood washed shells into the desert like how shells wash up on shore,and the bible says that there were four rivers flowing into the garden of Eden two were called the tigris and Euphrates rivers and still are called the same names today.
jesus is real beqcause the bible says so. and whatever God says is true. it dont have to be rocket science
people were created, but what if the creator were among us? Jesus and people might be considered the same but Jesus was pure and holy, without original sin. Jesus is pretty much the same as god. now the real question is if god is real. that can be explained easily but you would have to search farther than the internet.
Just believe and you will see!
god is god he created the first man and woman on earth and sent his only son jesus christ to die for our sins. the proof is his love and judgement day when he sends you to hell or accepts you to heaven! god loves and he forgives everybody everyday we just have to believe! :D hope this works
How do we know Jesus even existed? Well, how do we know George Washington or Abraham Lincoln ever exist? We were not there. We rely on history and records from that period. So, too, with Christ. The primary record of His existence is the Bible. Although we Christians usually think of the Bible as the Word of God, we should remember that much of it is a historical record as well. The New Testament documents, in particular, give us vital historical information about Jesus, even though they are not intended to be extensive biographies in the modern sense. The New Testament picture of Jesus is supported by non-Christian historical sources, although there are not many of these that have survived from the time of the early Church. The probable reason for such scant non-Christian historical evidence is that the Roman, who were the main historians of the time, would not have been concerned with a small outpost of their empire like Palestine. (My answer continues in the comments)
Hope this helps! - ManOfKnowledge
Because we have photographs/paintings of them, because we have MULTIPLE sources which reference their existence.
"The Jewish historian Josephus does record the existence of Jesus and the fact that He was executed under Pontius Pilate."
Sorry, but this part of Josephus' writings are generally considered to be fraudulent. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus
Anyway, there is a big difference between Jesus existing, and Jesus being the son of God.

There's no question that Jesus existed. Before the Bible was the Bible (namely, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) it was written history. You believe what's written down in your history books, don't you? Everything about the men talked about in them, like George Washington, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein. Why then should there be any question that Jesus was real, and that his miracles were real? Even many agnostics don't doubt that Jesus was a real person. Jesus did not do ANY of his miracles in secret, they were always in front of many people, and many of them were still alive after Jesus' death and resurrection. The same people who saw him die were the same people who saw him alive 3 days later. Why is it still debated? Because it's the Bible.
All i can say is read the bible.
A new book by Hank Hannegraaff, called "Has God Spoken?" will give definitive answers. Also a website called www.equip.org. thanks, kristen.
There is a Jesus of Nazarene. Interpreting him is were many differ. God bless
He is real the same way julius caesar or george washington or anyone in history is real, proven by historic records. It is a proven fact that a man named Jesus from Nazareth, a jewish carpenter by trade did in fact exist and created and lead a very popular, dangerously popular, religious sect.
That such a man as Jesus existed, & that he's crucified (which was the mode of execution at that day), are historical relations strictly within the limits of probability. He's a virtuous & an amiable man. The morality that he preached & practiced was of the most benevolent kind; and though similar traits of morality had been preached by Confucius, & by some of the Greek philosophers, many years before, by the Quakers since, and by many good men in all ages.
His (jesus') historians, having brought him into the world in a supernatural manner, were obliged to take him out again in the same manner, or the first part of the story must have fallen to the ground. The wretched contrivance with which this latter part's told, exceeds everything that went before it. The supernatural part the story has every mark of fraud and imposition stamped upon the face of it. The resurrection and ascension, supposing them to have taken place, admitted of public and ocular demonstration, like that of the ascension of a balloon, or the sun at noon day, to all Jerusalem at least. A thing which everybody is required to believe, requires that the proof and evidence of it should be equal to all, and universal; and as the public visibility of this last related act was the only evidence that could give sanction to the former part, the whole of it falls to the ground, because that evidence never was given. Instead of this, a small number of persons, not more than eight or nine, are introduced as proxies for the whole world, to say they saw it, and all the rest of the world are called upon to believe it. But it appears that Thomas, one of Jesus' apostles, did not believe the resurrection; &, as they say, would not believe without having ocular & manual demonstration himself. So neither will I; and the reason is equally as good for me, and for every other person, as for Thomas.
JESUS is real to me in my heart and mind spirit , I been an Christian for years years , I love how it change my life for the better , pick up a bible and read it , you will see that JESUS is real .
Jesus is a real man like how is fo we know George Washington is real? ;p
Plus, he was God's son
how I know Jesus is real is because I am living proof that he has worked in my life!! look at i am second.com and watch a brain head welch, lecrea, and many other videos of God working through their own lives!!(:
Jesus was a real person, and there is medical and historical evidence to support the miracles he performed in the Bible. I'd recommend reading books by Lee Strobel.
There is no proof that Jesus was a real man. Many people believe there is historical evidence to prove he was but there isn't any in actuality. The only "proof" we have is the gospels of the New Testament. The books were written several decades after Jesus lived and thus didn't witness anything firsthand (if you believe there was anything).
well, in truth, Jesus is based on true FAITH alone. Jesus is/was/will be real, he is the son of the living God in Heaven and he came down to earth in the form of a human to die on the cross to take our sins so we could one day go to heaven with him
Jesus was a real person! He lived around forty years after the death of Julius caesar( that's just put for reference). Some believed he was not the son of god, some did( like me!).
isn't this question obvious; Jesus is real i mean think about it who wrote the bible is not like we were back then when Jesus exited so i guess either someone back then wrote the bible or one of Jesus's followers; Jesus probably wrote some of it.
Yes Jesus is real and the son of God. Is wind real ? Can't see it or touch it. Yet it will lift an airplane right in front of you. Is faith really that hard ?
