Yes. My family has quite a few photographs of the guy.

There is evidence his lost years were spent in Indian Buddhist monasteries, as the monastic records mention someone fitting his description. Obviously, just a theory, and probably frowned on by most Christians, but you asked.

Which parts of the jesus story are you looking to authenticate, my son?

What exactly do you put your "faith" in, and is better than putting it in someone or something who can't change what he said 2000 years ago?

Find it yourself.

Do you have proof of anything or do you just accept the world for what it seems to be, Can you prove to me gravity with out pointing to a book? Just imagine you know something to be a fact 100% true, Could you not in fact be a butterfly dreaming or some kind of simulation? So we all go around with no proven facts but rather a series of probabilities based on the data at hand

The fact that so many major world religions speak of him are just data points, as are the many other data points we can get from people who lived about 20 years after he died, there is simply no reason to believe he did not exist, You can safely say most of the miracles where bullshit but there is plenty of sources that could be considered contemporaries that we can safely say he was a real person.


If you are unwilling to accept something based on that amount of evidence then you cant believe in most of human history because it is far more scarcely sourced, Some historical events come from a single bias source but people believe it because it fits their narrative of history, You only want to disagree when it comes to jesus because it fits your narrative, Much like the people who had him killed, To this day just the idea of him makes you uneasy

I highly doubt this is a serious question.

How about the contemporary secular Roman sources which substantiate the gospels?
