Historical
records show that Jesus was real etc.
I’ve pretty
much covered this in a previous post, but I’ll break it down into 2 parts:
1. Records
regarding the existence of Jesus are not exactly clear, there are many scholars
today that believe that there is significant evidence to suggest the man never
even existed, some scholars believe he probably did exist (a lot of this is
based on Roman records of execution which outline the execution of “Josephus”
around about the same time-frame) but that most accounts detailed in the bible
are wildly inaccurate and heavily embellished.
Which leads
us quite nicely onto point 2:
2.Was Jesus
the son of god / god incarnate as man; I would say that this is essentially the
basis of the argument, the answer…no. Many people would try to slam me at this point
for being so certain of this point, however, during this time period there were
actually many “messiahs” roaming about, most of them quite widely reported in
historical texts, and yet here we have the bible telling us that Jesus was the
one true messiah wandering the land, performing miracles, healing the sick
(most of the other messiahs were also claimed to have carried out the same acts)
and yet we have no real historical evidence, surely if this guy had been the
real deal the records would vastly outweigh any records for the other messiahs…but
they don’t!
