I’m Jewish and have been told very angrily that I killed Jesus more than once. It’s fun.

    I asked for you to provide some kind of proof.

    You provided a statement that scholars have faith.

    I am being serious here, where is the contemporary record of Jesus existing?

      I’m leaving this one to the experts. If you don’t believe the them that’s up to you to prove. I personal don’t believe either of us is more informed than they are.

        I would argue that both of us ought to be smart enough to be able to look at the “proof” and recognize a lot of it is personal faith.

        You believe what you want.

        this conversation is split into so many parts im just trying to chase down this one key point: it’s not enough to say “well I don’t believe them” - I want to be proved wrong here, for my own education. But I want to be proved wrong - with proof. Not just a throwaway comment of “they have not met my (undefined, and unexplained) threshold of proof”

        What do you have to show that Jesus didnt exist as a real human? That isn’t your own belief or thought process as your primary source?

          You can’t be proved wrong. Noone can ever prove that someone never existed, but you can prove that someone did exist. If you have such proof for the existance for jesus, please share it.
