Did Jesus exist?

[athrock]

Just as Paul had never heard of the great majority of the jesus narrative.  Paul himself gives the strong impression of what would later be deemed a docetic heretic in the narratives attributed to him.  Supposedly, Marcion had nothing but praise for the man....not that he'd ever met him, of course.

Clement of Rome mentions him:

And, of course, Paul mentions Clement.

Philippians 4:3
Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement  and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
