Jesus Mythicist Finds No Evidence Jesus Existed AFTER EXCLUDING Evidence He Existed

You may be surprised to hear that some people think Jesus never existed. They believe Jesus is a mere myth with no historical evidence to back him up. Here’s the problem. First, the claim that we have no documentation for Jesus’ existence outside the Bible is just plain false. Authors like Tacitus, Josephus, and Lucian and others all make reference to Jesus—a historical person.

Second, even if we didn’t have any extra-biblical evidence, so what? We still have reliable historical documentation from early witnesses collected together in the book we now call the Bible. Only a blind-eyed bias against the Bible would dismiss this early evidence for Jesus.

Though popular on the Internet, the idea that Jesus never existed completely ignores the facts. In the introduction of Bart Ehrman’s book Did Jesus Exist?, he says,

“I am not a Christian, and I have no interest in promoting a Christian cause or a Christian agenda. I am an agnostic with atheist leanings . . . But as a historian I think evidence matters. And the past matters. And for anyone to whom both evidence and the past matter, a dispassionate consideration of the case makes it quite plain: Jesus did exist.”
