When will Christians find some evidence that their missing link Jesus actually existed?

Question

...Or are they fully aware that there was no Jesus and that he was never more than a composite of various previous myths but it doesn't matter to them anyway..they just want something to cling to even if it's not real, truth is not important to them.

Answer 1

All the evidence is in the Holy Bible. Its a matter of faith. I think what frustrates non believers more than anything is the inability to develop faith.

Answer 2

i'm happy you introduced it up, whether it relatively is noticeably pointless attempting to convince any Christians that they don't have sufficient evidence helping their theory that Jesus Christ existed. it sort of feels that each and every time sturdy contradictory evidence is stumbled on, the protecting celebration very mostly unearths some miracle evidence that enables their case. in case you do no longer have confidence me, try having a fundie tell a Mormon that the e book of Mormon is a load of crap, and factor out which parts are pretend, and that they are going to have helping evidence or some sort of excuse for something the fundie can throw at at em'. The Gospels do no longer even agree on many parts of the existence of Jesus. Then the Christians merely fabricate some tale of vulnerable *** good judgment to end that they've been actual all telling the comparable tale. someway, telling somebody there have been 2 angels, is the comparable as telling them that there substitute into one guy. No sense attempting to tell them in any different case, they choose to have confidence too desperately that in the event that they stay existence a definite way they are going to get a cookie on the top.

Answer 3

That just seems like a hateful question, but I'll answer anyway. There are many proofs that Jesus did exist on this earth and did perform the miracles that are written in the Gospels. For something to be true technically, you only need one witness, of which of Jesus' resurrection there were close to 4000.

Answer 4

"Yeshu - A Talmudic Tale"

A story about a man named Yeshu can be found in the Talmud. There is debate whether this Yeshu in the Talmud is the same Jesus who later became a Christian divinity.

According to the Talmud, Yeshu was the son of a Jewish woman named Miriam who was betrothed to a carpenter. "Betrothed" means she was legally married to him, but she was not yet living with him or having sexual relations with him. The story says that Miriam was either raped by or voluntarily slept with Pandeira, a Greek or Roman soldier. Miriam than gave birth to Yeshu, who was considered a "mamzer" (b*stard), a product of an adulterous relationship. The Talmud describes Yeshu as a heretic who dabbled in sorcery and lead the people astray. Later, the Sanhedrin (the Jewish "Supreme Court") ordered Yeshu stoned to death and his dead body was hung from a tree until nightfall after his death, in accordance with the ancient Jewish punishment for heretics.

While some believe there is no connection between the Talmudic Yeshu and the Christian Jesus, others believe there is a connection. The main inconsistency between the Talmudic and Christian story is that during the time that Jesus was killed, the Romans ruled and the Sanhedrin did not have the power to impose the death penalty. Thus, some Jews believe that today's popular Christian ideas about Jesus are based on a melding of the Talmudic story of Yeshu and the historian Josephus' writing about Jesus, which included his execution by the Romans.

After Jesus' death, a group of simple fishermen and artisans, called "Nazarenes" after Jesus' hometown of Nazareth, became his followers. Jesus' brother James, headed the Nazarenes in Jerusalem for approximately thirty years, until 62 C.E. when he was also executed by the Romans. The Nazarenes observed Jewish laws, and they believed that Jesus would return soon to inaugurate God's kingdom on earth. Thus, Jesus was a founder of a religious movement, or more specifically of the sect of the Nazarenes within Judaism.

The Nazarene sect, however, did not last more than four centuries. The Romans killed many Nazarenes, for being observant Jews, during the Jewish revolt of 70 C.E. The faith of the remaining Nazarenes, who awaited Jesus to return and save them, was greatly tested by the Roman conquest.

With the weakening of the Jews and Nazarenes, early Christianity, led by Paul, flourished in the major cities of the Roman world - Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Ephesus and Corinth. Christianity claimed Jesus as its founder and also as God incarnate.

Jews believe Jesus himself would have been shocked to know that many people today view him as the Messiah. According to Judaism, Jesus was a Jewish man who was executed and later given divine status by the Christian church.

Answer 5

There is ample evidence to show that Jesus existed - it's nothing but pure prejudice to claim that Jesus was a myth. He is mentioned in the first and second century writings of Romans and Jews, by those who weren't followers but rabid enemies like yourself.

If you think that Jesus never existed, why not come up with some proof, rather than just shooting your mouth off?

Answer 6

LOL...Yesterday "fanmale" asked a question to Atheist about Jesus. He asked why so many Atheist believe that Jesus was Married to Mary M...but don't believe he was the son of God. 25 ATHEIST wrote that "of course there was a ungodly carpenter named Jesus"...he just was not "Christ".

I ask you sir...The proof that Christians have that Jesus existed is found in the Bible.

NOW.... 25 ATHEIST said that he existed and was Married to Mary Magdalen....HOW DO THEY KNOW HE EXISTED? (ha, Ha...I see a few deleted their answers...Oh well, )

Answer 7

Lee Strobel found evidence.
"The Case for Christ"
It's not a "lite" read. I'm not sure you can handle it, but if you're up for the challenge, see if it doesn't all make sense.
If you spend too much time on Yahoo answers, it might mean you won't have the attention span to finish the book.

Answer 8

Hell, christians can't even decide if jesus was god or the son of god. And you are right they don't want to hear the truth

Answer 9

No, I am not aware of that.
Jesus is alive and I talk to Him every day.
You are entitled to believe what you wish. That does not mean you have the right to waltz in here and insult everyone who does believe in Jesus and His teachings.

Answer 10

Why do you care so much? If I'm wrong about His existence and I live my life following Him, then when I die, I'm just dead! But if you ( A NONBELIEVER) dies and find that HE IS REAL, then in hell will you lift up your eyes. Either way it go, sweetie, I got everything to gain.
