even outside the bible Jesus showed up
I am breaking news to most of you Erin Buescher is now a monarch. She got traded to a new team and is going to platy at home this year. I spoke to Jimbo her dad who is a pal of mine. He said she might not even know? Anyways. I want to keep working on the study I am in on how can you know Jesus was real.
Here are things we know about Jesus. First we know Jesus was a Jewish teacher. We know Jesus preformed many healing and casted the Devil out of people and we know some thought of Jesus as the Jews Messiah. We know that Jesus was rejected by the Jewish leaders of the day and he was convicted and sentenced to death by Pilate. Despite his death on the cross many claimed he was alive. Also Jesus was worshiped as God
Every thing in the last paragraph is history and all has been written outside of the Bible. It is factual and to deny it is like saying Bill Clinton was the leader of this land. It is sheer truth. From one part of the bible to another all the truths of it are real and proven. One source of many is a man named Josephus. Following is a statement from a man that wrote much history in the first century.
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.

Here is a historic document from the time of Jesus that is independent of the Bible. Note this is from a Jew not a Christian. I am placing a link to a web page you might look to and study this mans works in history and the bible. It has many thing to be learned and it is proof Jesus is God. Also it shows the bible is not a tall tail because of other writing of the time. So how did this man life end? He was killed for being a leader of the church. He was a Jew that became a Christian. His works can be found at any library or store anywhere. Here is a place to learn more on Joesphus http://members.aol.com/FLJOSEPHUS/ntparallels.htm
Here is a Quote that is showing the rapid conversions to Jesus in 112 AD
Soon accusations spread, as usually happens, because of the proceedings going on, and several incidents occurred. An anonymous document was published containing the names of many persons. Those who denied that they were or had been Christians, when they invoked the gods in words dictated by me, offered prayer with incense and wine to your image, which I had ordered to be brought for this purpose together with statues of the gods, and moreover cursed Christ--none of which those who are really Christians, it is said, can be forced to do--these I thought should be discharged. Others named by the informer declared that they were Christians, but then denied it, asserting that they had been but had ceased to be, some three years before, others many years, some as much as twenty-five years. They all worshipped your image and the statues of the gods, and cursed Christ.
They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god, and to bind themselves by oath, not to some crime, but not to commit fraud, theft, or adultery, not falsify their trust, nor to refuse to return a trust when called upon to do so. When this was over, it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food--but ordinary and innocent food. Even this, they affirmed, they had ceased to do after my edict by which, in accordance with your instructions, I had forbidden political associations. Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.
Here is the site for that
Ok Why do a series on Jesus being real. I started a series on the truth of God and I want to keep showing you more proof that Jesus was real and he is God. I hope to make you think and consider Jesus as God and make him king of your life.
