Well, Sky......if you know of any non-Christian historical "proofs" that Jesus was a real person--please share them.

I haven't heard of anything other than the mention in the works of Josephus that modern scholars see as an obvious later Christian addition to his work.

Myself, I believe that Jesus DID exist and was a great prophet--but I can't claim there's any proof. It could also be that the stories of Jesus are gathered from the teachings and acts of several different Jewish prophets and were gradually melded into a story of one man.

Whatever......it is true that his purported teachings are indeed wise and people SHOULD revere them.
