Is There Any Hard Evidence That Jesus Actually Existed?

If you liked this video, you might also enjoy another we did doing a deep dive into how one actually became a Spartan Warrior and how their society really worked, which isn't exactly what popular media usually depicts. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/VCfJJhzbcwI

I will always remember one of my teachers once saying ‘Oh Jesus definitely existed, its whether he was actually the son of god or not is the question"

I’m sure this is going to be a lovely comment section 😂

I absolutely love how y'all kept using a picture of Obi-Wan.

I've never seen Jesus or Obi-Wan Kenobi in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not

I just like the fact that the first photo you used of Jesus was actually Obi-wan Kenobi

The real question is whether Simon Whistler exists or is he just an elaborate AI...?

Given that he's been in more YouTube content than anyone could watch in an entire lifetime, I'm not sure Simon Whistler exists.

The only reason i clicked on this video is for the comment section

When the Jewish people of Judea/Palestine were under Roman Occupation, a lot of Zealots, or Messianic figures, rose to challenge the Romans and were inevitably crucified, the common punishment for Sedition. Notable insurgencies were The Judean People's Front, The People's Front of Judea and The Judean Popular People's Front.

The fact that the editor used a picture of Ewan McGregor to introduce Jesus is so 👌😂

This video is asking for trouble 😂love the channel though. Love to watch this dude while I eat, helps me take the info in 🙃

I definitely don't think jesus existed however I did find this video to be interesting.

The most interesting part of this to me is just how little evidence there is for most historical figures from this era and earlier. Even if we're getting it right 99% of the time, that still leaves a significant number of historical figures who didn't actually exist.

The neutral, respectful and professional way this was presented is refreshing, thank you

Not even a single reference to the work of historian Dr Richard Carrier. I think you missed the mark in your research on this one.

Easy to look at society today and understand why we are where we are. This is a perfect example of our downfall.

I'm an atheist, but I also went to a Bible college and studied the original Greek and Hebrew. Super fascinating, and while I may not believe in a deity the evidence that Jesus was an actual human is impossible to ignore. Thanks for the incredibly well researched video!

My favorite part of the Bible was when Jesus said "It's over, Pilate! I have the high ground!"

In prehistoric times, recording significant events and beliefs required immense effort, such as carving into stone or creating cave paintings, a testament to the value and permanence sought in these records. Contrastingly, our knowledge of figures like Jesus primarily comes from texts, notably the Bible, reflecting a shift towards textual preservation of knowledge. While words can be more easily altered than stone carvings, the lasting influence of these narratives is significant. This raises questions about the historical portrayal of Jesus – whether his contemporaries viewed him as significant or if his charismatic and fictionalized paranormal traits were amplified over time through textual revisions. The enduring, labor-intensive prehistoric records stand in stark contrast to the evolving narrative of Jesus, possibly indicating different perceptions of significance in their respective eras.
