There is so much emphasis on the genealogy of the descendent's leading to Christ not only in the bible but also in the scribes of the day when they where keeping record. Dead Sea scrolls validates this even further even if you don't believe in the chronological order of the bible there is also outside reference to his existence from Roman scribes as well. You would have to dispute several countries writings to disprove his life, not very likely.

When you are a person who has been seen in front of millions of people for his time even a hundred years later those records of him are not gone. They had record keeping back in that day. When millions of people whether it is today or 2,000 years ago have personally witnessed you it's hard to say that he was just a made up person.

The reason why there is so much reference even in a secular world is that Jesus performed and talked to and was seen by tens of thousands of people. It almost impossible for a person to not have real existence and stories being made up if that fact alone where not true.

Nobody thought the City of Troy was real just another mythological story made up out of the bible.

I didn't know this was debatable. He was definitely a real guy; whether or not he walked on water, well, that doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with my beliefs.

Jesus Christ did exist and thats not fiction. He was a holy child born from Mary and he did perform miracles by God's leave. I do believe in Jesus christ as prophet of GOD

I'm sure he was a real person, who preached love and had a large following and was probably a really, really great guy...

Who probably didn't walk on water, but did inspire many people.

Jesus really did come to earth and he will come soon just like the bible says. Ive seen the promises that God has made in word come true in my life and the prophecies of the last days are coming about, so with no doubt. My lord jesus exists.

There is sufficient evidence that Jesus actually was a historical man. Aside from the Gospels, which were written within a generation of Jesus' death, he is mentioned in Roman records and by other authors. The gospels certainly do not contain the only mention of Jesus. There is no doubt that he truly did walk on this earth.

As for Jesus being the son of God, I believe it to be true. I believe he died and rose again.

i believe that jesus might have been real but i do not heink that he could heal just by touching people or that he came back from the dead. he could've been just some guy that everyone liked and over the years he became the son of god and could perform all these different things.
