What is the historical evidence that Jesus Christ lived and died?


SHOCK BIBLE CLAIM: Jesus was NOT crucified – it was actually JUDAS on the cross

THE facts surrounding Christianity have been put under the spotlight once again after an ancient text resurfaced claiming that Jesus Christ was not crucified.

A so-called “lost gospel” which has been kept in Turkey claims that it was not Jesus who was crucified, but rather the traitor Judas.

This is according to information allegedly written by Barnabas, one of the messiah’s disciples.

The book claims that Judas was leading the Romans to Jesus, but the alleged son of God ascended to Heaven before they reached him, and Judas transformed into the appearance of Jesus, who the authorities subsequently crucified.

The body of Judas is then stolen from the grave, leading to claims that he – who everyone allegedly thought was Jesus – rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven.
 
So why do we call it the Bible?

The Old Testament is based on the Jewish Torah.

Christianity is based on the New Testament/Jesus and his Disciples.

So, why do we call it the Bible?

True, DallasCF; but i call it Dallas Ft -Worth. Would that bother me most call it Dallas or Ft Worth ???,???? Fine with me. Its also called the Holy Bible ; bible means book. My Christian banker dad had a hunters Bible only 3 books. A lady asked are Christians in in the book of Joshua[6th book ]or Judges [7th book] I waited prayerfully ,24 hours like an accurate turtle. Sure are ;Hebrews 11 noted Joshua, Gideon[[7th book] They call them repenters in Romania, much more than Christians.................................................................................................Thanks.

One reason the Jews hated the Samaritans was not just really race alone;
Samaritains only believed 5 book of OT, much more in Old Testament than 5.Thanks

Sometimes humans just want to find the weakest and to hate them, instead of to protect them. Sad!

Jesus did say the right thing about Samaritans, imo!

Looks like you have a pretty intelligent question. But I can only provide a fairly unintelligent answer below.

When I read a Bible of Birds, I expect I can learn a lot of stuff about birds on our beautiful earth.

When I read a Bible of Rivers, I expect I can learn a lot of stuff about rivers in this amazing world.

When I read a Bible of Pizzas, I expect I can learn a lot of stuff about pizzas around the wonderful globe.

This is all true. When someone defines something as a bible.....it is usually considered an all encompassing authority to a specific subject.

I think that the use of bible in those examples derives from the Holy Bible as an authority on morality and Christianity.

I just wonder where it originated from, when it was called a Bible and what it was called when they assembled the first books together.

Sometimes I ask too many questions.....:)

Mostly or all written by Jews, inspired by the God of Israel. Dr Luke [gospel of Luke ]was most likely non Jewish , but cant prove it .....................................................................
 
its funny if I stay away from this thread long enough you find a new way to mis state history.

there is one questionable quote regarding Jesus in Josephus and one that virtually every real scholar accepts.

how many times do I have to correct you on this mis statement of history of yours.
there are now many partial manuscripts which also



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus


Modern scholarship has largely acknowledged the authenticity of the reference in Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 of the Antiquities to "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James"[12] and considers it as having the highest level of authenticity among the references of Josephus to Christianity.[13][1][2][14][15][16]

Almost all modern scholars consider the reference in Book 18, Chapter 5, 2 of the Antiquities to the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist also to be authentic and not a Christian interpolation.[17][18][19]

"There are no birth records, no trial transcripts, no death certificates; there are no expressions of interest, no heated slanders, no passing references - nothing. In fact, if we broaden our field of concern to the years after his death - even if we include the entire first century of the Common Era - there is not so much as a solitary reference to Jesus in any non-Christian, non-Jewish source of any kind. I should stress that we do have a large number of documents from the time - the writings of poets, philosophers, historians, scientists, and government officials, for example, not to mention the large collection of surviving inscriptions on stone and private letters and legal documents on papyrus. In none of this vast array of surviving writings is Jesus’ name ever so much as mentioned.” Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium

One questionable entry in Josephus following a couple of others already confirmed and generally accepted to be fraudulent, does nothing to help establish Jesus as anything else than an elaborate myth, albeit a persistent one.

It shouldn't matter. Blind faith can carry belief into suspending reality. But that is not what truth is.

The insult to human integrity comes at the point where people insist, teach, instruct that Jesus was actually an historical figure and events surrounding the character's story are actually true. That's where it gets very wrong and fundamentally dishonest.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

Most scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed,[53][54][55][56] but scholars differ on the historicity of specific episodes described in the biblical accounts of Jesus.[15]:181 The only two events subject to "almost universal assent" are that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and that, between one and three years later, he was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate.[13][57][58] Elements whose historical authenticity are disputed include the two accounts of the nativity of Jesus, the miraculous events including turning water into wine, walking on water and the resurrection, and certain details about the crucifixion.[59][60][61][62][63][64]
