No, I’m not talking about some kid named Jesus kicking a ball around in Brazil. I’m talking about the Jesus. The son of God. The Messiah. The guy whose birth we’re supposed to be celebrating on Christmas Day.
People often conflate believing that Jesus existed with believing in Jesus Christ. While evidence of the biblical version of Jesus is restricted to the factually dubious Bible, there are many sources that corroborate the historical existence of Jesus.
Whether or not Jesus was the son of God is another matter entirely, and one we won’t touch on here.
There is no archaeological, physical or written evidence that directly proves Jesus’ existence, but there are many sources that refer to him.
The lack of physical evidence doesn’t mean anything.
