A man called Jesus

[TheNorthernExodus]

I was going to start this thread in order to continue a little chat I have been having with another user about evidence as to whether a historical Jesus existed.

Now I have evidence I can use but to have as much ammo as possible and in the spirit of many minds being better than one I want to ask for my fellow Christians for help.

I would like this thread to be a list of evidence that supports that a man called Jesus existed,

This is my first thread here and I dont know if this is the done thing but what I would like to see is that every new post has a new piece of evidence so that in time we will have a little encyclopedia on the topic.

So post 2 will give an evidence and perhaps some info about that evidence, post 3 will add a new evidence and so on.
And if you should know of an evidence not already listed please, please share.

We only need to establish his historical existance here, nothing more and nothing less , to a beyond a reasonable doubt level.

I hope my brothers and sisters will colude with me on this little project.
Many thanks in advance of any replies NE

..... about evidence as to whether a historical Jesus existed.

Now I have evidence I can use ......

.....

1. - Please define "beyond a reasonable doubt".
2. - What piece of evidence are you currently in possession of?

P.S. - As for input of evidence, I put forth this...
---> Ossuary (burial box) of Yeshua's (Jesus') brother James ---> http://www.maozisrael.org/site/DocServer/1202.pdf?docID=174
However, even this is in doubt, as the ossuary's authenticity is questioned in the scientific community, and now in the courts. ---> The Burial Box of Jesus' Brother: A Case Against Fraud - TIME

The other famous piece of evidence that I am aware of is the Shroud of Turin: which has fallen away as being credible.

Of note in this article.....​

"The Catholic Church does not claim the Shroud is authentic nor that it is a matter of faith, but says it should be a powerful reminder of Christ's passion."​

For a 2000 year old man of humble status in life I think beyond reasonable doubt is all that can be asked ie his face will not be on coins etc.

I have the same evidences most of us have access to, things such as the Talmud etc, but the point here is just to create a list.
References in early writings, artifacts etc.

I would do a search on a member called Oberon, and look through his threads. He is on point with many subjects...

Good luck.. As a matter of fact, here is a link to all his threads...

Evidence?

 

[Dunemeister]

The New Testament and the continual witness of the church are both evidences. They are sufficient.

For believers, yes.

Evidence for Jesus will be made available proving miracles still happen and it will not be debated. Maybe this thread is on the wrong board.
