Right, but no historian will weigh in on whether he was most likely the son of god, who most likely was born in a manger, died on the cross and rose from the dead. Historians cannot affirm anything that is supernatural and therefore not in legitimate historical records.

Remember that history and religion are two different arenas. Same for science and religion.

[b]History proves Jesus existed.[/b]
Science doesn’t have the tools or tests to prove or disprove God.
Religion is a personal belief system.

Historians can weigh in on the divinity of Jesus and give their opinion on that if they choose. It’s just their own opinion though. [/quote]

That’s not what the historians say. That’s what you say. They say those who don’t accept the existence of Jesus are dumb kooks. You can tell they are trying to be nice about it but it’s really difficult. [/quote]

Even the language around his existence - if one “accepts” the existence - informs that it’s not a hard fact. It’s an interpretation of circumstantial evidence. A belief, not a fact.

No one here is saying that he didn’t exist. He most likely did. We just can’t say definitively without hard facts.
