Quote:It is interesing you say that he may not have existed, this maybe true, or it may not be true. I am not a historian, therefore cannot answer this. However, I believe their is firm historical evidence that he did actually exist. I think Roman historiand were quite accurate
There are no historians at all, Roman, Jewish or otherwise that were contemporaries of Jesus that wrote about him. The earliest writings about him were The Epistles Paul around 55AD and Paul, as you should know, had never met Jesus nor did he ever claim he had. In fact in 18,000 words he wrote about the Christian faith he never mentioned one detail of how Jesus looked, Spoke, His virgin birth, his mother, father, the carpentry, 12 disciples, baptism, the miracles, his betrayal by Judas, persecution by the romans etc etc...
Think about this: How did the first person known to write about Christianity completely forgot to mention the stories of the life of Jesus which are today considered by many Christians to be factually accurate? How did he fail to mention one defining attribute of Jesus' appearance?
Not even Peter, under testimony in Roman courts, mentioned a single defining attribute of Jesus appearance or any of his life story, he never indicated that he was a man at all, the closest he came to describing Jesus was to call him a guiding star in the sky.
