Before you continue reading the content of this article, i want you to know the plan i have for this blog. you might ask, what is that plan? now this is the plan- i want this blog to get to every individual on the internet, and we all know this is not an easy task where i myself can accomplish. Therefore, using this opportunity to ask you to please share this blog and articles on this blog to friends and families and other places you can. phew! that was not easy.
So back to our topic..... "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS IS REAL?". This questions most of us ask daily, and others like (who is Jesus Christ?, is Jesus Christ the Lord?) sometimes don't get the answers to it.
This made me, taking my time to read the Bible, and doing research about those questions.
ARE THERE ANY REASON THAT JESUS CHRIST EXISTED?
Yes! Yes, there is good evidence that he was what is known as a "Hebrew Mystic". Although he was a rabbi, his teachings put him in the fringe of Jewish teachings. But recognize that above all, he was Jewish and that he would have never done or said anything to deny his heritage or beliefs.
The writings of Josephus as well as many of the other writings of the time all verify that there was a real man named Jesus Christ, who had a strong following, and a relatively small but devout group of Jews who were loyal to his teachings following his death who continued to cause trouble for the Roman leadership. But many of the common modern traditions about Jesus have their genesis in the reign of Constantine. Until Constantine, nobody had been able to unite Europe. He accomplished this by including a little of each of the older European religions and incorporating them into his new "universal" religion. Understand that "Catholic" is roughly translated to mean "universal".
There is no question that the man Jesus did in fact exist and that his followers were loyal and that he was killed in much the way described, but there is much myth and exaggeration associated with Christian dogma.
