We can reasonably conclude this because of the detail of their separate writings and because other 1st and 2nd century writers mention them and/or quote their book, as well as internal agreement (http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=6187). Jews were not known for their myths--they didn't have any (apart from what naysayers allege) and they considered such pagan works blasphemous. Can you write a book in which your character fulfills several hundred predictions? And sell it to a rigid, skeptical audience as history from within their lifetime?
FallentoReason, do you believe Jesus was a real man? Why or why not?
