There is not a single credible historian, Christian or secular, who denies the existence of Jesus.

Jesus is the one who saved me from my sins and from myself. A destructive course of life was chosen when I chose to curse God for what I mistakenly believed as a child was His taking my family apart. I fell into drugs and sexual addiction and when I cried out to the LORD to save me or let me die, He chose to save me. Why He loves me (and He tells me every day in His Word) I don't quite understand. I am thankful that He has called me as His own and called me to a closer walk with Him. I am thankful that He is the one who makes my stains to be washed away as I cannot ever make myself holy enough to be in His presence. I am thankful that He whispers His love in my heart when the cares of this world become too much for me to bear. I am thankful that He is the Author and Finisher of my faith. If it were not for Him I would not have this faith as everyone is given a measure of faith. He instills in me a desire to obey Him, to love Him, to know Him more. He is the Everlasting from Everlasting to Everlasting, the One who is, Who was and Who is to come. He is all I ever need, even though I decieve myself into believing otherwise. He will supply my ever need if I will just sit back and let Him be my God, He said He'd do this for me.

Only because as soon as he says that Jesus didn't exist, you would no longer think that he was credible. Since like many other things we all have an idea of what is credible but my definition can very greatly to yours.

I believe that there are records that show a man named Jesus did live around that time. That's probably why nobody denies he existed. There are, however, people who believe he existed, but deny that he was a savior. I usually call these people "Jewish".

Jesus Himself, God manifest in the flesh (1 Tim 3:16) as well as all of the apostles who held to His divinity were also Jewish, and we have their testimonies.

Okay, good for you, but like I was saying, there are still credible people who say that Jesus wasn't a savior. Not to say that there aren't credible people who say he IS a savior. Please stop quoting scripture at me, it's not doing you any good.

The point is, anyone can believe what they want but that does not make it true. You can believe as you wish, but are you the font of all knowledge? No. So we need to go to other sources, and when we have the word of God, and prophetic statements that go back hundreds or thousands of years prior to the birth of Christ, giving details prophecies that were fulfilled by Christ which undeniable refer to Him as God, then it because the Bible vs your word.

The same can be said for the bible, though. You can believe what you want, and if you choose to believe that what is in the bible actually happened, then go right ahead. Nobody can stop you. I never said I was the front of all knowledge. I'm not. I don't believe the bible is either. If you do, that's fine, but quoting scripture from the bible at me isn't going to do you any good in trying to get me to believe somthing other than what I do already.

Like i've stated already, I was just trying to point out that yes, there ARE credible people who say that Jesus wasn't a savior. And also, like I've said already, if you don't agree with that, it's fine, because we're each allowed to have our own opinions. It's good that you stand up for your beliefs, but please stop trying to change mine.
