This is yet another example of bad arguments. People these
days claim that Jesus Christ never existed. He is merely a story from a
storybook. He never existed. I find this argument as ridiculous as the argument
I presented earlier about us evolving from chimps. The question of the
historicity of Jesus of Nazareth has been posited and answered over and over
for the last 2000 plus years.
Any scholar, secular or Christian or any other religion,
will tell you that Jesus was a real person who lived pretty close to 0 BC (I
don’t remember the exact dates, but I believe it was within 30 years of 0 BC).
We have ample extra-biblical records from the time following Jesus’ life that
have proven the existence of the man Jesus that founded a religion that has
crossed the globe and continues today. He existed, period. Do the research
yourself, though there have been plenty of historians on both sides of the
debate that have concluded that He existed. Move on to the real crux of the
argument behind the claim that He never existed.
