i became curious after reading this biography book about Jesus,
People who don't have a religion will say that god doesn't exist and he never did the things he is
said to have done. But apart from the things he did,curing the diseased, becoming alive after death,(let's put this apart because there is a lot of controversy) he at least was a historical being who ACYUALLY existed, right???
 
There was a poor Jewish man named Yeshua bar Yosef who came from the region of Galilee and was crucified after spreading messages of love through his ministry. That's about all the historical credit I'm willing to give to the Bible.
 
First of all, not only is the Bible a religious text...it is also a historical text. Second, Jesus was written about by contemporaries of that time like Josephus.
 
One can know for certain Jesus exists, and is God, by praying the rosary regularly.

The rosary is God's preferred means for converting people.

Probably.

"Certainly the non-Christians who wrote about him in the years following his putative death did not doubt he had once lived. The Roman historian Tacitus, writing in his Annals around 110 AD, mentions one "Christ, whom the procurator Pontius Pilate had executed in the reign of Tiberius." The Jewish historian Josephus remarks on the stoning of "James, the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ." The Talmud, a collection of Jewish writings, also refers to Christ, although it says he was the illegitimate son of a Roman soldier called Panther."
 
Most likely not. There is no historical evidence that proves there ever was such a person. No contemporary historian mentions him, nor do the Roman records. There is no archaeological evidence. And his "story" was only told two generations after he supposedly lived, by a guy who was trying to convert people. The Jesus story also shares far too much commonality with a number of older myths to be likely as history.
