Historically speaking, we actually have way more proof that Jesus existed than we do for Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great. The first biographies for Alexander weren't even written until 300 years after he died. The Gospels were written within decades by actual eyewitnesses. If you're going to doubt Jesus, you'd have to wipe out the history of every Roman emperor too. Fantastic. Isn't it🙌✨️🙌

That Jesus existed at all or that He was who He said He was? Because Jesus is one of the best documented historical figures to have ever existed. It's an extreme minority view to say that He didn't even exist.

Jesus was a real person, even atheist historians agree on this. It's actually a fringe opinion among historians to claim Jesus didn't exist, even if Jesus mythers are common on the internet.

The best argument that JESUS really existed is that no one has ever successfully proven that He didn't.

There are over 42 sources within 150 years after Jesus’ death that mention his existence and record many events of his life.

Historical accounts proving he did. Now as for proof he is the messiah, I’d say it’s the power of his word and the fulfillment of the prophecies foretold to a tee. He is the messiah who is God in the flesh.

His enemies record his existence. Rabbi’s mentioned him in their writings after his life, and even mention his miracles, but credited to sorcery. They didn’t say that he didn’t exist. They just said he wasn’t who he said he was.

That its the consensus among historians.

The apostles who laid down their lives for Christ. No one would do such a thing unless they were thoroughly convinced of the truth of the gospel of Christ.

He is literally written about in secular writings from that day

Existed? You can just ask google AI it's no problem.

In 116 AD Tacitus notes that the name Christian came from Christus, who "had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by the sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilate". He is a hostile witness which actually makes the reference more significant.

Arguments won’t get it. Faith will.

Romans secular writings

Jesus EXISTS not existed.... He is still alive and in my heart and on His Throne today.

My changed heart

Evidence outside of scripture. People who wrote about him who lived at the time, like Josephus and Tacitus.

The Bible is a perfect manuscript

Existed? Jesus is existing among us - His miraculous work is all the time. To answer in theory: I would say how the message survived the first three centuries. There was no structure dedicated for The Way! They gathered often at great persecution. Without common literacy or Bible to read from. It was all Spirit! That same message had made it through the vilest of men and beast. Yet, it perseveres for eternity.

That an asteroid fell 66millions years ago and killed dinosaurs, but a man who is 2000 years old, and we even have historical evidence of other mainline figures who were alive around the same time who existed. no doubt existed, but they cant wrap their head around miracles.

Tacitus and Josephus are considered non Christian sources, and both directly attest to the life of Jesus. Polycarp who was a direct disciple of John also attested to him, being Christian. No scholar that I've seen denounces the existence of Polycarp, though (only) atheists denounce his martyrdom. I bring up Polycarps existence because..... HE WAS A DIRECT DISCIPLE OF JOHN. The same John who wrote the the Gospel. Furthermore, while the Gnostic records were fraudulent, and meant to scam the Church as well as Roman citizenry, they continually claim that Jesus was indeed a historical character. Finally, we were presented a full written historical record of Jesus, which was written by men who directly knew him. The Church preserves this record today as the Gospels, Letters of the Ecclesia, and Revelation of Christ.

It’s not guesswork to believe Jesus existed. It’s the resurrection of Jesus that usually needs argued for, and with that, there is so much historical evidence and eyewitness testimony that it’s more than reasonable.

The strongest argument is the multiple independent sources. Non-Christian historians Tacitus and Josephus also mention Jesus. You don’t have to believe Jesus was God to recognize that he existed as a historical person. The death by crucifix can be verified also historically.

His taco truck?

Instead of arguing try providing evidence. Proper demonstrable, unequivocal, source provable evidence. You can't use the Bible as evidence to prove the Bible is true. Otherwise I can use Harry Potter books to prove witches & wizards are real.
