Any Historical Sources That Dispute The Existence Of Jesus?

RE: Any Historical Sources That Dispute The Existence Of Jesus?
No.

Roman sources do not even begin to notice xtians until the 2d century.

It is not until Celsus in the late 2d century that discussions about doctrine are undertaken.

The only reason we have any idea what Celsus said is because the xtian writer, Origen, copied large portions of Celsus' work in an attempt to refute them in the 3d century. Celsus' book was burned by xtian thugs but the portions that Origen copied escaped the flames of xtian stupidity. Origen was himself later declared to be a heretic because of the changing of the supposedly "unchanging" church doctrine. Fortunately the thugs did not think to go back and burn his books.
