Since you're on vacation, you must have some time for reading. And since you want evidence for Jesus' existence, you can read Bart Ehrman's book, Did Jesus Exist?
Here's a brief snippet just to give you a flavor of what you can look forward to:
I'm not so mucha mod as I am a forum mascot, really. They keep me around cuz I'm a cute little bunneh. So don't worry about it![]()
I'll look into Mr. Bart Ehrman and his book and reply accordingly; however you did fail to show a relevant clip of why and what proof Bart has to believe in a historical Jesus.
I'm just reading the book now myself, but so far, he is citing the same Roman and Jewish sources that forum member Tim O'Neill has cited and that I have cited in the "Minimal Facts" Threads. You have the links to those posts.

So far, nothing has caused me to believe otherwise. Ehrman, of course, sees Jesus as a man only. I see him as that and God.
Quote:Is this supposed historian the only historian out there that concludes the existence of Jesus?
No. The vast majority of ALL NT scholars - believers and skeptics alike - agree that Jesus really did exist.
