If I cared to, I could present arguments that he'd never existed at all
which you christer morons wouldn't be able adequately to counter. (
Like any question of a historical nature; llet's ask the scholars of 1stwhich you christer morons wouldn't be able adequately to counter. (
century palistine.
A good prson to ask is bart ehrman; an agnostic/atheist historian of 1st
century palistine and NT events/figures. He can be found all over the web
on this and other historical questions of the time/place. He does not do
theology to answer the question, he approaches it from the prspective of a
historian. Anyone interested can ask and I will provide web sources on the
topic, including a recorded video lecture.
He wrote an entire book in answer to the question, one good survey of it:
'Did Jesus Exist?' (Ehrman book) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Did_Jesus_Exist%3F_(Ehrman_book)#Arguments_for_existence
The short answer, yes Christ was a historical person. He is critical of
the internet "experts" as opposed to the academic scholars of the
time/place. He says those scholars, of whom most he knows personaly; all
would say Christ was a historical prson with few if any exceptions.
He says the historical written documentation for Christ is better then many
of the greek and roman figures known and taught about in higher education.
One example I have examined is alexander the great. There were 4 primary
authors at the time of his life who wrote accounts of him. There are no
surviving examples of their writing but they are known from 4 others who
refered to them some 2 centuries later. Those are also lost and all of the
previous writers are known only from surviving examples of othrs written
after and during the 1st century.
