Who of the following were real: Adam/Eve, Moses, Jesus, St Paul, Satan, Mohammed, Buddah, Krishna?

Answer 1

We have fairly good historical documentation for the existence of St. Paul, Mohammed, and Buddah. They all almost certainly existed.

We have slightly less evidence for the existence of Moses, and much less for the existence of Jesus. Moses probably existed, and Jesus may have. Simply put, he was not nobility and not widely worshipped during his lifetime, so there is no significant documentation one way or the other.

Satan, Adam, Eve, and Krishna are all almost certainly allegorical figures.

Answer 2

Adam & Eve - no
Moses - possibly
Jesus, St Paul, Mohammed, Buddah - almost certainly.
Krishna - as a God, that's a matter of belief. I think not. Same for Satan.

Some statements are so stupid you just can't let them pass - such as:

"All that truly matter is if you believe they're real. Everybody has different beliefs and that doesn't make those beliefs wrong. "

No, no, no. Believing something doesn't make it real. Jesus either did or did not exist. Fact. If he didn't, my believing that he did doesn't make it so.

If you believe the moon is made of cheese, you're wrong - not because it's different to my belief, just because it isn't so.

Rant over.

Answer 3

What is "real"? Strangely what is "real" differs from person to person. More than likely all the above named individuals existed in one way or another.

Though the concept of Satan is a bit abstract. Likely that the concept of Satan came about as a symbol to illustrate evil in general terms; or maybe more distinctly to illustrate the dark side of human nature. So perhaps a little of the "devil" exists in all of us, making him real (metaphorically speaking).

Adam and Eve are also vague characters. So is Krishna vague, but Adam, Eve, and Krishna could all be based on real people.

The rest of them are all surely real, but some say Jesus may have been made up.

Even Dracula has basis in reality; check out Vlad the Impaler!

Answer 4

adam and eve: not a chance. like barkleyvader said, we'd all be inbred and dying fron a genetic bottleneck which would have anhialated any chances of us adapting, and therefore anhialate us. plus ethnic diversity really puts a wedge in the adam eve theory's gears
Mosus, Jesus, St Paul,Mohammed and Buddah: all mortal men with no god involved but it their beliefs or as a result of other people telling their stories.
Krishna, maybe also a mortal, but maybe based on the same origin as the numerous other hindu gods.
Satan: i wish. then i'd have someone to blame.

Answer 5

Jesus, Paul, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna. I'll put a probably on Moses, but not a definite. The only figure in the list with documented existence beyond a religious text is Mohammad (but don't ask me what it is). Satan and Adam/Eve I do not believe ever existed.

Answer 6

Paul did not reject the actual international. He did not meet Jesus in human being previously he died, yet he did meet Jesus after his resurrection, it really is why it appears that evidently to you that he 'renounced any information of Jesus by human resources'. He became purely being honest about how he met him. As for issues seen and unseen, Paul isn't rejected this life (he has plenty to say about it), yet he's refuting the concept this life is all there is. This life must be seen contained in the mild of our eternal destiny, and that is even as issues are going to be ideal and done (truly than in this life). yet Paul rejected any ideas that the actual international did not remember. His writings are finished of his arguments hostile to that concept. So of direction Paul would have properly-known the strolling, speaking, authentic life Jesus. it truly is the Jesus he preached.

Answer 7

Those that science supports as having lived are, Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Saul,and Mohammad. The others are supported only by mythology.

Answer 8

What do mean by real? I believe that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and no one will entr to the Father's house except through Him. So I choose to serve Jesus, because I want to be with Him forever.

Answer 9

Moses, St. Paul, Jesus, Muhammed, Bhuddha, and Satan.

Adam and Eve are metaphorical, now rendered obsolete due to the theory of evolution. Plus if they were real we'd all have inbred by now, and everybody would be the same color.

I don't know who Krishna is, though, but if he's like a Hindu God, I think he's an incarnation of a hindu pantheon that is itself an incarnation of a supreme deity.

Answer 10

I don't think Adam and Eve were real, but the rest are.
