Historians usually accept that a person mentioned in ancient texts really did exist, unless there is good reason to believe otherwise. Jesus is mentioned in the gospels, so most historians accept by default that he existed, although there is no actual proof of his existence. Nevertheless, a growing minority of historians are beginning to question the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth.

Was Jesus real and was Adam and Eve real?

It is easier to deal first with Adam and Eve, as they clearly were not real. Not only is there no evidence for their existence, the scientific and historical evidence we do have is contrary to their existence.Whether Jesus was real can be broken down into two separate questions. First, did Jesus exist? Second, did Jesus perform miracles and was he the son of God?The existence of the gospels does not resolve these issues. However, most historians assume that Jesus probably did live some time around the first century CE, although there is no evidence for him. There is no reason to believe he performed miracles and no reason to believe he was the son of God.

Historians can learn about the life and teachings of Jesus from the gospels, which are accounts of his life written by his followers. These texts provide insights into his teachings, miracles, and interactions with others. While they are considered religious texts, historians can analyze them to understand the historical context in which Jesus lived and the impact of his teachings on society.


Do history books show that Jesus Christ walked on this earth?

The life of Jesus Christ was not noted by historians of that time (admittedly, there were not many historians at that period of history). Only the gospels of the New Testament record the life of Jesus, and those were written for religious rather than historical purposes. There is still some debate among historians, as to whether Jesus did, as you say, walk on this Earth, or whether he is a fictional character.
