There is no contemporary evidence of Jesus ever existing. You cannot point to the bible as your evidence. Outside of the bible there are literally no sources about Jesus that were written around the time of his life. Tacitus Josephus wrote about Jesus several decades after he died.Prove me wrong and provide contemporary sources of Jesus' life, but not from the Bible because the Bible is a fiction.
>>18250023What is the point of this thread other than to have the same arguments?
>>18250025prove to me that Jesus was a real person nigga
He's more well documented than monarchs of his day.
>>18250023>Outside of the bibleWhy do I need sources outside of the Bible? Where are your sources outside of science that the Big Bang is real?
>>18250029Jesus was real because the Talmud admits nit only was he real, but he was proficient at magic.
>>18250023>You cannot point to the bible as your evidence.Why?
>>18250120Not (him) but that was incredibly retarded
Jesus was a rebellious rabbi who was crucified. Rome put down rebellious rabbis on a daily basis. There would've been little to no interest for non-Christians to write about him after his death. The fact Mark was written only 30-40 years after his death is fairly impressive by ancient biography standards.
>>18250120you are retarded
>>18250256If he was Jesus of Nazareth you'd think people would've written about him while he was alive, but not a single source exists.

>Everything in exodus is completely fabricated>Samaritans are the real children of Israel while jews are extremist mutts>Ezra made up all the books before his based on random shit he picked up from his uncs
>>18250296Science isn't a book, retard.A priest invented the big bang and barely any modern science is inherently dependent on big bang cosmology.
>>18250379It's almost like arbitrarily excluding an entire category of knowledge is a bad idea. Now tell me what is 2+2, outside of mathematics?
>>18250418>an entire category of knowledgeThe bible isn't a category, its a single book, retard.>Now tell me what is 2+2, outside of mathematics?Mathematics isn't a single book, retard.
>>18250425>its a single bookIt's actually a library of books, nice try
>>18250437No, its a single book composed of a bunch of short stories,If you are talking about excluding categories, it would be in the category of historical mythology and OP is not throwing out all historical books, he is specifically trying to get people to cite historical books, only excluding the fictional mythologies because he wants to show whether it is real or not by seeing if it is mentioned by other historical documents or just in the book of fictional short stories about magical demons and their human familiars.
>>18250437Sure, you could fill up a library with all the contradicting translations, but the bible document itself is just bound in one book.
>>18250283Jesus was an obscure rabbi who spent the majority of his ministry going around small villages in the Galilee area preaching. He would've been one among tons of rabbis doing this. There wasn't going to be many educated people in these areas that'd be interested in sitting down and writing about one of the many wandering rabbis in the area. Even the initial followers of Jesus were mostly coming from sectors of Jewish society that were illiterate. The small reference to Jesus from the historian Thallus was written about 20 years after Jesus's death. Paul's earliest writings about Jesus was from this time too. The first biography of Jesus would be Mark which is about 30-40 years after. That's not bad for an obscure rural rabbi who got crucified and his movement exploded in popularity after his death.
