What proof is there that Jesus lived.?

well, there is the Bible, some text in the Islam ,the  Qunram..History I would say. Even if you are an atheist deny the existence of Jesus is just too far :/

There is no scientific proof that people lived this long, only biblical documetation.  Physically, the human body cannot live to that age at this time, or any previous time.  Maybe somewhere down the road.

Sorry, no proof, nor ever will be.\nHebrews 9;27, As it is appointed unto men once to die, \nbut after this the judgement.\nI Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!

#1   I really hope you didn't just say that the bible is historical evidence (maybe it was just misread on my part) \nweather or not jesus was here on this planet is not the real question. there very well could have been a man fitting his description that lived on this planet. The real question is weather or not he is a divine being or not. If there was evidence of his exsistance your best shot would be through roman literature from jesus's contemporary period. not afterward, that would be tainted.

miracles, no.  Jesus, I believe several people (not just apostles) have written of him.  From what I understand though, few imply the possibility that he's the son of God.

Seems right. However, no one really knows the truth as to Jesus' real appearance. Isaiah gives a brief description but nothing was ever recorded when He walked the earth in human flesh.

The primary question, as written, demands an answer of "nothing." There is a considerable amount of written text attributed to Jesus' followers, though perhaps to no one who actually knew him. But I've yet to run across anything that claims Jesus' own authorship.

No one really knows.\n\nThere is no credible evidence to support the claim.\n\n\n"While some historians consider Jesus to largely be a mythological and legendary entity, (Jesus freaks claim he exists)"\n\nSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

Whether or not Jesus was mortal shouldn't really matter, so far as I know. Jesus was supposed to die for humanity's sins so we could accept him as a savior, etc. The part about him bodily going to heaven after being resurrected was just a last miracle, a last hurrah, and to me doesn't seem necessary to the story. It would be easily enough taken as metaphor instead of literal anyway if physical proof came up to the contrary. Though you'd have to realize, with religious folk what is scientific isn't proof enough; heck, they don't believe in the dinosaurs half the time.

Definitely:\n\nMany noted critical historians, such as Shaye Cohen, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, John Meiers, E.P. Sanders, and Geza Vermes argue that Jesus lived from about 8-4 BC/BCE to 29-36 AD/CE. The main sources regarding his life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels from the New Testament, which took written form some decades after his death. They depict him – among many other things – as a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities , and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After his death numerous followers spread his teachings, and within a few decades Christianity emerged as a religion distinct from Judaism.\n\nBeyond the historical information accepted by most secular scholars, the gospels make various additional claims about Jesus: that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible); that he was the son of God; that his birth by Mary was virginal; and that after his crucifixion he rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Most Christians hold that the Gospels also attribute divinity to Jesus; however, others hold that the Gospels are equivocal on the subject. Many Christians and some scholars believe that the accounts in the New Testament are historical facts, though others maintain that different parts have different degrees of accuracy, and a few hold Jesus did not exist at all.

Scientist don't disagree that Jesus Christ ever lived -- there is concrete evidence that he was a real person who lived in that time period (unfortunately, I don't know what that evidence is...) The only thing disputed is whether or not he is the Son of God. And to answer your question further, I don't believe that there is solid "proof" of God. But, then again, faith isn't based on proof, or else it wouldn't be called "faith".

A good question. There is as much *** proof *** of his existence as there is for all the other deities and pseudo deities.\n\nNote the word *** proof *** here meaning "not what some mortal scribbled down in parchment a few hundred years AFTER the alleged fact, THEN had it translated - several times - interpreted and re-written."

The "Dead Sea Scrolls" don't prove that the Jesus of the Bible was a real person, nor do they prove that such a person performed the miracles attributed to him. \n\n"Noah's Ark" has never been found. That was a hoax and has been well-documented. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/ark-hoax.html\n\nJust like all the other gospels, Judas' gospel proves nothing. The gospels in the Christian bible as we have it today, were written by anonymous authors, decades after Jesus' alleged death, with numerous contradictions, and they weren't eyewitness accounts.\n\nLaws aren't based on Christian principles. The idea of not killing one another, and treating others as you'd have them treat you, have been around much longer than Christianity has. In fact, the so-called "golden rule" was taught by Buddha hundreds of years before the Jesus story popped up.\n\nIf you want to look at Christian principles, let's see what Jesus allegedly said:\n\nLuke 14:26\nIf any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (The word "hate" in that verse is "miseo", the Greek word. The same one from which we get other words that indicate hatred, like "misogynist." It definitely means HATE.)\n\nMatthew 10:35-36\nI am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.\n\nLuke 19:27\nBut those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. (This one is a parable, but read it and make no mistake: who do you think the king is?)\n\nMark 14:3-7\nYe have the poor with you always. (Here, expensive oil is used on Jesus. Instead of using the oil to sell to provide money for the poor, this was his response: "You'll always have the poor." How compassionate.)\n\nThe fact that the Christian religion is supposed to fulfill Judaism, yet completely contradicts it should be more than enough evidence to undermine Christianity, but the ignorance of Christians when it comes to the origins of their own religion prevents them from looking beyond what they're taught at church.\n\nChristianity is supposed to be the "fulfillment" of the "Old Testament" - if so, the Jewish Bible is what must be used to determine what such fulfillment will consist of. Using the Jewish Bible, it can be shown that to date, no one has come who has fulfilled the requirements of the Jewish Messiah. Furthermore, the Messiah was only ever for the Jews - not the Gentiles - so even if Jesus *had* been the Messiah, it wouldn't concern a non-Jew, anyway.\n\nOutside of the Christian bible, which was written by a combination of anonymous authors and Paul (a self-confessed liar), there is nothing to support the existence of an historical Jesus whatsoever. There is nothing that is both historical and contemporary to show that there ever was a Jesus of the Christian bible at all. The so-called Josephus passage that is often cited, was not contemporary (Josephus never saw Jesus, let alone met him), and that single passage is agreed by the majority of historians to be a forgery. After all, if he truly believed Jesus to be "the Christ", why was only ONE sentence devoted to Jesus in all his writings, and why did Josephus himself remain a Jew? Not very convincing.\n\nExtraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I, too, was once a wide-eyed believer. I truly believed with every fibre of my being that Jesus was Lord. Then I saw the light.\n\nI strongly recommend you research your claims and your supposed evidence a little more thoroughly. They're the same pieces of "evidence" that I once believed existed as well.\n\nGood luck on your journey.

there is no proof for any religion. However, Christianity provides evidence.\n\nEither Jesus was a liar, lunatic, legend, or Lord.\n\nPeople call him a great moral teacher, therefore, he wouldn't lie all of the time. He would have never made being the son of god the main point of his preachings. no one really thinks that because they call him a great teacher.\n\nA lunatic? when we look back, we don't see  the abnormalities that are found in lunatics. Instead of going around saying without thinking, he shows great composure while the pharisees confront him.\n\nLegend? If I wrote a book saying Ronald Reagan went around forgiving sins, you would never believe me. And the people wouldn't have believed the 12 disciples because Jesus was too recent. unless that actually happened.\n\nLord. alright then.\n\nLogically, Jesus had to be Lord. No proof, but other religions can't even do what I just did.\n\nAnd why do others believe other religions? Either it was forced on them by parents, or they don't want to follow the rules and instructions of the true, living God.

"There is actually quite a bit of written history from that time period that proves he did exist. But thanks for playing anyways."\n\nHAHAHAHAHAHA.... prove it. Show me one single piece of paper and I will believe you. The fact of the matter is, there was NO record of a historical jesus. In fact, St. Paul (who recorded the very first story of "Jesus") didnt mention anything about a virgin birth, miracles, or even this plane of exsistance. It was set in the same relm as Zeus, Hera, and other fictional characters. There are no writings from ANYONE who supposedly followed "jesus". If you know of any first hand evidence, I will gladly look at it and convert my faith if its true. So heres your big chance, all you good christians out there... In fact, Im gonna make it a new topic.
