All the historians agree, so it's pretty much indisputable. I don't know much. But I do the majority of historians agree that Jesus exists. And I do know they aren't stupid with their research and they do their job correctly, plus it's a majority. You see, it doesn't matter HOW they got it, if they all say it is I'm pretty sure it's fact. Perhaps you got your facts wrong? Seriously the wiki article says it right there "Virtually all modern scholars agree that Jesus existed, and see the theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted."
Maybe it's time to teach you what your own Bible says.
Ephesians 3:4,5
4When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
Galatians 1:11,12
11For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. 12For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
I've been trying to get an answer to this for a while but everyone dodges the question. Why are the early Christians talking about Jesus as if he was a spiritual being? Both these verses don't even bother mentioning his glorious 3 year ministry. Instead they collectively say the gospel came from no man but through the spirit. Oh really? That's an incredibly harsh thing to say after all that Jesus went through.
P.s. it would really help if you brought up real arguments instead if resorting to fallacies like appealing to authority and the masses. If you think that's good enough then how about this: the majority of the world doesn't believe in Christianity so you must be wrong.
