Jesus may have been real. The question is whether god is real or not. Although people everywhere say they know, does anyone have any proof.
Faith, which is the opposite of proof, assumes things which are not seen. Faith leads to fundamentalism, which is the root of a long list of conflicts, all of which had no reason except to force empty opinions on another human being.
Simplicity and a love for life is the best religion you can have.

because there is no evidence, aside from religious mythology written long after this person's avowed death, that he ever existed. Romans kept lots of records about people, as did contemporary historians. he is mentioned nowhere, when people like John the Baptist and others are.
now, i personally believe there is a possibility that a jewish revolutionary called Yeshua existed, since there were large numbers of potential "messiahs" going around at the time he is said to have existed. but i don't believe human beings are gods (except in the abstract sense) and i don't believe that any of the tales of his life and birth are anything but the standard imitative mythology. (if you read egyptian or any other ancient mythologies, you'll see parallels to the Jesus story all over the place. those similaries ought to be a clue.) the point is that people needed a story to believe in, and the founders of the ancient church knew it. hence, the Bible.

Of Course Jesus is real and no matter what the world say, nothing can't take that believe from me.
You can investigate for yourself the compelling case for believing Jesus was exactly who he claimed to be. If you will listen, Jesus will speak to you himself!
The Israelites knew God as "I AM WHO I AM", and by the associated names "I AM your provider", "I AM your healer", "I AM your peace" and "I AM your righteousness". Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, the eternal Son of God. His claims to be the full revelation, in himself, of the God "I AM" are truly astonishing.
Jesus claimed to be "the way, the truth and the life". He claimed to be "the good shepherd" who "lays down his life for his sheep". His supreme sacrifice is the means by which we can be forgiven.
To receive God's forgiveness we need to gratefully acknowledge what Jesus has done for us.
I BELIEVE IN JESUS!

there are lots of religions in the world, and all man-made. some people don't believe in mohammad, some don't believe in ra and isis, or zeus and hera, and believe it or not, some don't believe in jesus.
i respect people and what they believe, but it galls me how many people forget that religion is relative to your region, the time in which you live, and to your own personal preferences. they all strive for similar things, in principle. one of those things is understanding and tolerance. the other is crowd control. jesus may well have existed, but believing in him, as well as believing in any "god" requires faith. if you told the ancient greeks that you study their god as mythology, they would be appalled. people believe that jesus was the son of god, but there is no proof that he was. only the documentation of his followers, and that isn't provable fact. mohammad had the same sort of followers. it is aaaaaall relative.

IM SORRY IF THIS ANSWERS SOUNDS OFFENSIVE BUT=
1=IF JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD WHY DONT YOU WORSHIP GOD HIMSELF INSTEAD OF HIS SON?
2=IF HE IS GOD WHY SHOULD HE CHANGE TO HUMAN FORM (DOESNT THAT MAKE HIM MORE VOUNDRABLE AS A HUMAN THAN AN ALMIGHTY GOD) WHAT POINT IS HE TRYING TO MAKE?
3=WHY PICK SUCH A HORRIFING WAY TO SUBSTITUTE YOUR SINS? I MEAN HE IS GOD..ISNT HE SUPPOSE TO BE THE PEACEFUL TYPE?
4=SOME OF YOU WORSHIP THE HOLY SPIRIT, SOME JESUS AND SOME MOTHER MARY....SO MANY...TOOO CONFUSING...
5= 3 IN ONE? DOES THAT MEANT YOU HAVE 3 GODS THAT WORKS TOGETHER OR ONE GOD THAT DIVIDES HIMSELF INTO 3?
6= IF HIS TRULY GOD WHY ARE POINT 1 TO 5 SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND...SHOULDNT HE MAKE IT SIMPLE?
7=CAN JESUS GET RESSURRETED...I MEAN HE IS GOD..IF HE DIES SHOULNT GOD TOO? IF SO WHO RESSURETED HIM?
8=WHY SO COMPLICATED???

I think the question should be, "Why don't you believe Jesus is real?"
Anyhow, I believe He's real so I guess this question wouldn't apply to me.

The Jesus myth was plagiarized from many other 'crucified savior' legends throughout history.

Well, it's kind of hard to dispute that Jesus existed. He most likely did according to historians but that whole son of god thing is what people don't seem to latch on to.

I do believe that he is real! I don't understand why most people don't. Let's just pray for them and hope that God will let them see the truth.

I believe he was real. Just not really my savior. Does that answer the question? Shoot... I was hoping so.
