Responding to the Claim That Jesus Never Existed

A common argument that we hear only in the last, say, 40 years, is the argument that Jesus never actually existed. He was just a myth. Something that the gospel writers embellished, people later on in the Catholic Church made up.

Whatever the arguments they try to claim, to say that Jesus was never actually a historical figure. This is something that, well, would be laughable if we didn't have to respond to. Even Bart Ehrman, who is not a Christian, and spends all of his time trying to criticize Christianity, he even argues, in his books, that Jesus, in the original gospels, was never claimed to be God, and that the disciples embellished that.

And yet he would say there's more historical evidence for Jesus than any other person in antiquity. So what you end up seeing is, we have plenty of evidence. We could look not only at the Bible, that is actually a historical document, but we can look at the writings of Josephus and others, historians of the time, that also mention it.

We see Jesus mentioned in Roman documents. The best argument is, in the time of the writing, we see Jesus mentioned in other historical documents, known as the Talmud, the Jewish writings. If there was anybody who would not want to identify Jesus as having existed, or making him up, it was the Jews.

So we see lots of historical evidence that Jesus was a historical person.
