There is no evidence outside of the Bible to support the existence of Jesus. If you can produce eyewitness accounts of Jesus then I am happy to believe there was a man called jesus.

So far no-one has been able to.

Strange do you not think that there is not one single eyewitness account of the Son of God?


Once you prove there was a man called Jesus, the next step for you is demonstrating him as everything you have stated above.

Thallus, who was a Samaritian born historian who worked in Rome in 52 AD tried to explain away the darkness which occured during Christ Crucifixion. His account, which was recorded in the third book of his histories not only confirmed the existance of Jesus Christ. It also confirmed the darkness that came over the earth. And Christ death on the cross. And it confirmed that the darkness came over the earth at the exact time Christ died on the cross. And of course, his account confirms the Biblical account.

Interesting.

Links and supporting evidence please.

Christian think tank?

You don't honestly expect us to take this as a real source do you? Maybe you have a source without an inherent agenda?

Oh please, Julius Africanus was a real historical figure who's writings are well respected among ancient historical scholars. If you believe the source had an inherent agenda, it could of been, and would of been exposed at the time of their writing. The fact is, Africanus was not argueing over the existance of Christ, or his death on the cross. It was over the 3 hours of darkness that occured during the Crucifixion. It was the Roman historian Thallus who would of had first hand knowledge, and may of experienced the 3 hours of darkness himself. And Thallus who lived back then tried to explain away the 3 hours of darkness as nothing more than an eclipse of the sun. Julius was simply pointing out that this opinion stated by the Roman Thallus was wrong, because eclipses could not occur at Passover when the moon is full, and there fore diametically oppsite the Sun. There was no arguement about if the darkness occured. It was just a question between the two as the reason for it. And it was the Roman Thallus who called it a feaful darkness, and also speaks about the great earthquake that also occured in Jerusalem at the time of the Crucifixion. Here again, this was common knowledge back then and confirms the Biblical account. This came from Roman records, and it was from these records that Julius Africanus quoted from. Fragments of Thallus can be viewed on Wikipedia. You could view them from any other historical account as well. Yet Wikipedia clearly shows this one account under fragments of Thallus No. 4. Link would not take, but Wikipedia speaks of Thallus and his existing fragments from his writings.

Response: Well here's a question. Why is Santa Clause so widely acknowledged as a fictional character and Jesus is not? Also, I'm sure you believe you have great-great- great-great- grandparents right? If so, how do you know? You can't provide any eyewitnesses can you?

There were eyewitnesses, the Gospel writers. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They wrote for posterity.

I was talking about your website, it's not a reliable source.

And for the record Homer was a real historical person who made many writings respected by historians and yet nobody has found Atlantis.

There is enough historical evidence to suggest that someone named Jesus did indeed exist.

The fact that he was crucified in the manner of Jews lends further evidence to his lineage.

I strongly disagree with the Christian idea of Jesus. It puts a great distance between Jesus and regular people. Jesus was regular people. Who had a remarkable experience that all are worthy of.

Christians have made a mess of things. You don't need this religion. You just need to be aware of you natural attraction to your source.

Clinging to this human self portrait is the problem.

To know God, and the thread that ties it all together, you have to let go and jump in. You'll swim back to your human self later. A changed person. But you've got to be brave enough to jump out of the nest.

How are you going to fly otherwise?
