Oh he did exist, the Romans kept records of where people worked. The stories in the bible you can form your own opinion on, but historically there was a Jesus of Nazareth.JochemDude said:I don't believe he existed in the first place, the first record to my knowledge was probably a bible. So I don't see a book based on fiction is a good reference to believe in something like that.
If he were to exist and return he'd probably end up in a lunatic asylum, you know how many people in there think they're jesus.

According to the Roman historian Josephus, a guy named Ieshuah the Nazarene (let's call him 'josh')was actually a person who lived a life. He was most notably among the many competing messiahs attempting to attract followers in Jerusalem. In his own lifetime he was quite unsuccessful, and the cult that followed him only gained momentum through the efforts of people like St. Paul and the authors of the gospels many decades later. It is further arguable that what eventually became Christianity has more to do with Paul's writings than with any stories about a Galilean carpenter.KingofallCosmos said:Oh he did exist, the Romans kept records of where people worked.
