Uhh...written history from multiple sources? And no, I'm not a Bible-tard.

other than the bible an a few vague references by Josephus not much historical proof. still, i think he existed, i just don't know how much is fact and how much is legend.

Believe it or not, there are NO historical references from his own lifetime.  The Bible and other "obscure" sources came about 70 years later.

This isn't to say he didn't exist, but it's incorrect to say there is actual documentation from him during his life time...there isn't.  Of course, the Romans burned Jerusalem to the ground at some point after his death.

You'll often here people jump up and say, "yes, he was real, THERE ARE SOURCES."  They state this as fact, but in reality, there is no actual proof of Christ's existence from the time he walked the earth.

And again, that doesn't mean he wasn't there.

agreed,  i guess it is like kingArthur and Robin Hood, i assume there is some kernel of truth but the information is at best second or third hand, or fof   {friend of a friend}

Original Message If you do, on what evidence do you base your conviction/belief? When I say evidence, I don't mean miracles and tradition, but scientific/historical/anthropological research.
