According to ancient records,Jesus only existed in The Bible.If Jesus existed somewhere else there is no written record of it.
He is also mentioned by Jewish Historian Josephus, and by other minor historians. Unfortunately, none of them are contemporaneous with Jesus, nor are there any primary documents confirming their historical narratives. To make matter more complicated, Jesus was a common name; so knowing if a document refers to Jesus of Nazareth can pose a historical problem.
--
He is referred to twice by Josephus, a Jewish historian. There is some doubt about these references, with some scholars arguing that these might be interpolations made by Christian scribes.
Another thing to note is that Josephus was born some years after Jesus' execution, so that, even if these mentions are legitimate, his knowledge could not have been first-hand.Nevertheless, it seems very likely that Jesus did exist. There is always a kernel of truth in even the most fantastic stories. It is difficult, and in many cases impossible, to prove that any historical person existed. Think Shakespeare! But there is much room for doubt in the details of the stories that have come down to us.
What else can I help you with?
Was there such a man named Jesus?
Of course there was. As well as the Gospel accounts of Jesus in the Bible, and the letters of Paul also in the Bible that refer to jesus, there are many contemporary historical accounts of his life. As examples the Jewish/Roman historian Josephus mentions him as 'a doer of wondrous acts', and the contemporary Roman historian Tacitus, Pliny the Younger and many others record the fact that Jesus of Nazareth existed.
Who accepts Jesus Christ first.Is it male or female?
Jesus was a real flesh and blood man. It is a historical fact that He existed. But He was a man.
Who proved that Jesus is a human?
The Bible said that Jesus was born as a baby to a human, telling us that he was, in fact, human.
Is Jesus fact?
Yes Jesus is to Christians fact. To other people in different religions Jesus is make-believe.
Is the most compelling reason that scholars believe Jesus never existed is the fact that there is no book in the Bible written by Jesus and only other peoples writings about this fictitious character?
A:In the absence of proof either way, scholars tend to accept that there probably was a person called Jesus, who lived in Galilee. Historians generally take the view that if a person was attested in ancient times, they will accept that he probably existed unless there are good grounds for believing otherwise. The fact that Jesus never wrote a book and was probably illiterate (in spite of Luke's Gospel) is not sufficient grounds for believing he did not exist. What critical scholars do agree on is that Jesus did not perform miracles. They regard the gospel accounts, in large part at least, as not historical.
Does the Bible not give the best demonstration of the fact that God does not exist and never was with Jesus at any time when Jesus came to the realization that he thought God forsook him at the cross?
Nope. It proves how stupid the Christian bible is. It also proves that their god is totally fictional. The others require other proof.
What storys are the in the holy Bible?
There are MANY, MANY, MANY stories in the Bible; the Bible itself is the story of mankind! In fact, just of Jesus alone, on of the Gospels had commented that if ALL the miracles that Jesus had done were recorded, the books would fill the entire world!

Their relationship is implied by statements involving the fact that their mothers are cousins.
Who is the follower of J esus that betrays him?

Is the Story of Jesus just a Rip off from A Roman God?
Jesus existed but the stories of the bible can never be proven. Much that is attributed to Jesus has in fact been adopted from other religions. For example: A comparison between Jesus Christ and the Indian god Krishna reveals some 29 identical or similar incidents in their lives. There are also many similarities between Buddhist stories and those in the New Testament. Many of the sayings attributed to Jesus can be found in the Buddhist scriptures. Even the well-known Sermon on the Mount for example has been shown to have been taken almost word for word from a manuscript written centuries before Jesus was born.
Does the Bible record the virgin birth as a fact?
A:The Bible certainly portrays the virgin birth of Jesus as a fact, although John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) and a great many New Testament scholars say that neither of the nativity stories contains any historical truth.
What is the significance of Jesus' sisters in the Bible?
In the Bible, Jesus' sisters are mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. Their significance lies in the fact that they are part of Jesus' immediate family, providing insight into his personal relationships and human experiences. Their presence highlights the humanity of Jesus and his connection to a family unit, emphasizing the importance of familial bonds in the Christian faith.
