Their writings. His opponents denounced him, but there was no doubt that he existed.

The earliest accounts of Jesus depict him as a real person. Even Q contains details about his life, such as his baptism and where he lived.

q didn't exist, it's all based on mark, but written around 130. Can't use that to say people didn't doubt he existed, how would they not doubt something they had no evidence of? Maybe they just had faith which is a mental illness.

Someone named Jesus probably did exist, but there were a lot of messiah claimants and healers back then, and Yeshua was a common name.

That's all I was trying to convince you of. I believe in most of the rest too, but that is unrelated to whether or not he existed.

yeah just can't go around being so sure if you agree with the word probably there too tho, that implies doubt.

there is no doubt he DIDNT exist. we can trade links or whatever, but anyone who thinks jesus existed cant deal with the reality of it. if you really want to do this, we can.

Why is it so hard to believe that a person existed 2000 years ago?

because the person in question has had millions of tards do weird things in his name and he obviously never existed to begin with. show me something.
