I thought of putting this question in the mythology section.

Because Jesus was a real historical person. Twelve men gave witness of him and many wrote about Him. Five hundred saw Him after the resurrection. A historian by the name of Josephus wrote of the many stories of His miracles.
He made such an impression on man that the timeline was divided by Him AD and BC. The Bible clearly mentions that Jesus was coming and that Jesus would be crucified and resurrected and that Jesus is coming again. The Book of God, the Holy Bible, has withstood the test of time even though it has been one of the most contested books ever written.
Jesus was a historical person and Jesus is alive today. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and fellowship with you so you can know Him also.

I would be suprised if historians, scholars and archeologists accepted Jesus being a real historical person. On the other hand that he was a real person is certainly a possiblilty. There certainly seems to be indication that Jesus was a real person, but there has not been any hard evidence found yet.

Because there is a huge amount of historical material, quite apart from the gospels, which talks about him. Josephus, a contemporary of Jesus, writes about him, as do Tacitus and Suetonius.
Tell me, do you believe in Julius Caesar? Because there is more evidence to prove that Jesus existed than there is about Caesar.

Because his life is documented in many respect non-Christian sources AT THE TIME.

I don't know why the vast majority of scholars, archaelogists and historians consider Jesus a real, historical person. Stupid science.

Yeah. Don't believe what the worlds scientists, historians, archaeologists tell you people because it's not true....
Unless, you agree with them. Then what they tell you is true...
But if they tell there was man named Jesus, then it's not true...
But everything else is true...
Because science doesn't lie....
Except about Jesus.
Did I get that right?

I don't take the Almighty God to be a liar, He sent His Son to buy us Life. ~ John 3:16
There is a day coming when you will realize this too.

Jesus was a real person - he was just not divine, nor was he the son of god.

Jesus changed the course of history of the ENTIRE WORLD.
I can see questioning his divinity. I can see how you could believe he wasn't God's Only Son.
But saying that he didn't exist is foolish.
How do you explain Christianity unless there was a Christ?

Jesus said I am: He never said I was since He said I am you can say He never was. But He still is & always will be God!!!!
