He may have been.
I still have my doubts about his God, though...

Yes, I think he was a real person. Both The History Channel and The National Geographic Channel have done stories of his life. Good enough for them - good enough for me. The show I watched by the National Geographic Channel said that he was one of many claiming to be the Son of God at the time.
And Jesus is not the boogyman. He is the *always good* side of the God trinity that balances out the mean vindictive punishing "boogyman" side which is God the Father.

Certain he wasn't.
I used to just accept he was, as so many people thought so.
But having found out a lot about why he is portrayed as he is, I am pretty sure he was not a real historical figure.
I've read around all the supposed historical records, and they are far from conclusive.
I started doubting when I heard at a religious seminar that the loaves and fishes stuff was true because IT Had been witnessed by 5,000 people, this seemed to satisfy some, to me it was ridiculous logic, and having started out thinking that Jesus had probably been real, I have yet to hear anything that makes me think he was.
The story is just a rehash of previous figures, and astronomy.

Yes Jesus is for real. Why would you even want to think not. If you think Jesus is here to scare you well what about just the thought of dying? I think the Holy Spirit is working on you right now and he wants you to reach out. If you would like to not have to worry anymore just ask Jesus into your heart and then you will see how real he is!!
You are going to have some non believers answer this question and try very hard to persuade you not to believe.
When you see this. It is because the Devil is helping them. When we are in doubt that can happen but if you just Trust in the Lord your life will change and you will be happy just like me!!!!!!

Well if you check History you will find proof of a man who went around doing the things Jesus was said to have done, his name was Jesus, although Jesus is the translation of his Hebrew name. Of course there is no proof that he was the son of God, nor of any of the things he done being a miracle, but common sense tells you that if for example you were able to get fire from a lighter in those times it would be a miracle,
So we know that there was a man called Jesus, fact. Son of God only faith can give you an answer on that

Jesus is a historical figure. Yes. His followers turned Him into the boogyman.

Yes i do, and im not religious. I believe he was the original witch. It was God who was used by the christians to frighten people, like the boogyman. The original pagans worshipped the god of fertility, etc, which was frowned upon by the early christians. They used fear to force them into embracing Christ, who would probably be royally p.ssed off if he knew.

Yes, Jesus was a real person! There are thousands and thousand of eyewitnesses of the life of Jesus. We also have the historical eyewitness documents in the New Testament that record the words and actions of Jesus. Why would you accept other historical figures such as Alexander the Great or Cyrus the Great, and then reject the reality of Jesus?
Talmudic rabbis are often spreading lies about Jesus and the Christian faith. Since the Jews control Hollywood and the new media in America, they use this power to constantly slander Jesus and spread lies about him and his Church.

He may have also been an artificial being as well afterward or had a cloned body waiting for him. Some Muslims believe he had a twin or a look alike that died instead. ( I'll be Back?) Maybe Jesus is the Real Terminator.

Of course, He was a real person. And Jesus is spelt with a capital J. With all the evidence, you still don't believe Jesus was real? Even if you don't believe in His teachings, you've got to know that He was real. Do some good research and you will find out that what i'm saying is the truth.
