The strongest historical references for Jesus of Nazareth's existence are the letters of Paul, written within a few years of the crucifixion (c. 36 AD) and citing personal contact with Jesus' brother James and disciples. Key non-Christian sources, including historians Josephus and Tacitus, also confirm his life.

Letters of Paul: The earliest sources, highlighting a contemporary connection to Jesus' life and followers.
Josephus (c. 93–94 AD): The Jewish historian mentions Jesus twice in Antiquities of the Jews, noting him as a wise man and referring to his brother James.
Tacitus (c. 116 AD): The Roman historian mentions "Christus" was executed by Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius.
The Gospels: While primarily religious, they provide early oral traditions, with some details, such as his Nazareth origin and crucifixion, corroborated by historical context.
Suetonius and Pliny the Younger: Other Roman sources from the early 2nd century confirming the existence of early Christians following "Christus".

These sources, combined with archaeological findings like the Caiaphas ossuary, are considered robust by most scholars in confirming the historical existence of Jesus.

The Jews don't acknowledge Jesus whether he existed or not. No body expects them to acknowledge his identity or existence. Among them, thre are those who believe another world ruling mesahia will rise among them.

For christians, it is irrelevant whether they believe in Jesus or not as he is a risen king. History strongly confirms Jesus' existence. It would have been good if they believed in him for their salvation.

This is the Elephant in the room question,"If his own race and jewish ppl don't recognize jesus as he existed, why would a foreign non jewish white ppl and africans and others insist on his existance??? this is what i call identity crises and a mental slavery. Find your own god's like the hindus did.

It is a spiritual thing. It does not go that way or with logic. To begin with, as a God he came to accomplish Gods plan. It did not matter whether they-jews-recognized him or not. He was not one of them. He came through their line due to Gods promise and plan. They failed to recognize him for multiple reasons. Many among them accepted and believed in him as God/Son of God. The apostles and paul were Jews who believed in him and died as martyrs. Many more Jews for ages including now believed in him. Muslims got and get changed by him. The bible says he came to his own but many did not receive him. To those who received him he gave them the authority to be children of God. Jesus is the final execution of Gods plan to save the fallen man. Like any other human, some Jews accepted him others did not. The Jews were expecting a messiah that will be a real king to defend them and rule the world in peace, specially when the roman oppression was severe. Gods plan was a spiritual messiahs who obviously will rule the world one day. Because of this disconnect and varried interpretation of the scriptures many missed Jesus. It does not matter whether Jews believed in Jesus or not. Jesus came through the jewish line as God promised to Abrham and his other chosen saints. Jesus was not and is not a Jew but came through them as God promised and as he chose them as his people for completing human salvation. There is no indication Jesus was white or black or asian. Probably he looked just an average person of brown complexion. It does not matter what he looked as we all are made in Gods image. There is no logic or sound reason to find alibi not to believe in Jesus. He was here for everybody as paul states in Romans. Not only for Jews, gentiles, the educated, the uneducated, one race or another. He was crucified and rose for the salvation of all to whoever believes in him. Of course to the end of the world, not everyone is going to accept him as personal savior for various reasons.

Don't try to sugar coat it."If it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck, then it's a DUCK". . Your jesus's mother was mary from israhell and his step father was from israhell and he spoke aramic or hebrew at that time, what more do you want? He was a jew but hated by his own jew ppl. To black ppl or other's get your own god's like the indians did they call their religion hinduism from hindustan, their own. Get your own god and stop believing other's hated god or man or whatever he or she is. Africans use to believe in the sun and moon or even voodoo, but at least that was our own ancestors god's b4 the arabs and europeans colonized us and made us believe or forcefully worship a fake god or so called prophet that they worship and has nothing with us. Stop worshiping other's unwanted trash or ppl or god, wake up ppl.

Sadly, I have to conclude that you either haven’t lived in this world or are a TERMINAL IDIOT.

I don’t know of another world where you can use a computer and post such a thing to this world. So, it has got to be the latter.

In the first place, does humanity need Reverence or Salvation?

Yea, that is how me thought >30 years ago when I was different person like you. That was how the Jews of the day thought too. They said is not this Jesus the one from Na Nazareth? Are not his parents Joseph and mary? is int he the carpenter? This was when Jesus was doing supernatural wonders and teaching in authority and for telling about events. He was crucified but rose in the 3rd day for all our sins. They were hopping to remove him for once and all. But today he is the most popular figure and kingdoms, empires generations bowed to him. It is not a mind thing but when you come closely to him and ask him reveal himself to you in a humble way, you come to know him and changes you for good. Billions of people can not delude themselves to believe in a non existing figure. Among his followers are polished scientists. Luke one of his followers who wrote the gospel of Luke was a physician during his day. Apostle paul was a prominent jewish scholar who hated christian’s and hunted them until Jesus one day revealed himself to him in the road to demascus and he got changed to eventually die as a martyr after writing a significant portion of new testament bible and spreading the gospel to roman empire in all sorts of challenges. I won’t be able to detail many things here but Jesus ain’t a simple thing you can despise like that and that easy.
Sorry for being rude in this but All eastern religions are demon worships and I am not going to waste my time explaining that. Hinduism, buddha…deep trenched demonic religions. Any one interested can dig into AI or check with good explanation in media. Atheists will tell you this was copied from ancient egyptian religion, sumerians, eastern religion…well something may appear parallel but it doesn’t mean they are the same! Below are bible verses where Jesus by himself or others claiming him as God. Blessed be his name.Jesus is a personal God and real for those who experienced him at personal level.

Key Verses Declaring Jesus is God

John 1:1, 14: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word became flesh(Jesus)”.

John 20:28: Thomas declares, "My Lord and my God!" (Jesus accepts this, unlike other instances in Scripture where angels or men refuse worship).

Titus 2:13: "Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ".

Colossians 2:9: "For in him [Christ] the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily".

Hebrews 1:8: "But of the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever...'".

Romans 9:5: "...the Christ, who is God over all, praised forever".

Examples of Jesus Claiming Divinity

John 8:58: "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am" (using the divine name of God from Exodus 3:14).
John 10:30: "I and the Father are one" (leading the crowd to try to stone him for claiming to be God).

Revelation 1:17-18; 22:13: Jesus calls himself the "Alpha and the Omega," the "first and the last".

About virgin birth what the bible says:

Matthew 1:21 (NIV): "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:23 (NIV): "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means “God with us”).

Isaiah 7:14 (ESV): "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel"

John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:11-14
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave them the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


I hope this helps if you are real truth seaker!

Tacitus (c. 116 AD): The Roman historian mentions "Christus" was executed by Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius.
The Gospels: While primarily religious, they provide early oral traditions, with some details, such as his Nazareth origin and crucifixion, corroborated by historical context.
Suetonius and Pliny the Younger: Other Roman sources from the early 2nd century confirming the existence of early Christians following "Christus".

These sources, combined with archaeological findings like the Caiaphas ossuary, are considered robust by most scholars in confirming the historical existence of Jesus.

Africans use to believe in the sun and moon or even voodoo, but at least that was our own ancestors god's b4 the arabs and europeans colonized us and made us believe or forcefully worship a fake god or so called prophet that they worship and has nothing with us. Stop worshiping other's unwanted trash or ppl or god, wake up ppl.

Yea, that is how me thought >30 years ago when I was different person like you. That was how the Jews of the day thought too. They said is not this Jesus the one from Na Nazareth? Are not his parents Joseph and mary? is int he the carpenter? This was when Jesus was doing supernatural wonders and teaching in authority and for telling about events. He was crucified but rose in the 3rd day for all our sins. They were hopping to remove him for once and all. But today he is the most popular figure and kingdoms, empires generations bowed to him. It is not a mind thing but when you come closely to him and ask him reveal himself to you in a humble way, you come to know him and changes you for good. Billions of people can not delude themselves to believe in a non existing figure. Among his followers are polished scientists. Luke one of his followers who wrote the gospel of Luke was a physician during his day. Apostle paul was a prominent jewish scholar who hated christian’s and hunted them until Jesus one day revealed himself to him in the road to demascus and he got changed to eventually die as a martyr after writing a significant portion of new testament bible and spreading the gospel to roman empire in all sorts of challenges. I won’t be able to detail many things here but Jesus ain’t a simple thing you can despise like that and that easy.
Sorry for being rude in this but All eastern religions are demon worships and I am not going to waste my time explaining that. Hinduism, buddha…deep trenched demonic religions. Any one interested can dig into AI or check with good explanation in media. Atheists will tell you this was copied from ancient egyptian religion, sumerians, eastern religion…well something may appear parallel but it doesn’t mean they are the same! Below are bible verses where Jesus by himself or others claiming him as God. Blessed be his name.Jesus is a personal God and real for those who experienced him at personal level.

Matthew 1:23 (NIV): "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means “God with us”).

John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:11-14

But as many as received him, to them gave them the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


I hope this helps if you are real truth seaker!

Listen I see what you are trying to do here and it will not work. Because all of those Bible scriptures were written by men just like you and I, second the so called old testament was written by so called the Jewish guys students which were all Jewish as well, you know like Peter and Simon etc .., black and white and other white people must start investing and worship their own God other wise you will always worship other people gods that don't even know you. Why would you respect and honor a strangers father and mother, before you honor and respect your own mother and father. Once again I appreciate your efforts but you are just repeating scriptures of a Jewish guys teachings will not persuade me.
