Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

The new testament stories were written well over a hundred years after. That would be like someone today writing an account of the civil war based solely on stories.

Ah yes, the civil war. Which one??

I don’t know if you’re a non American making fun of the US and their names for wars or if you’re just making fun of US politics

There's been civil wars in nations all over the world. I think they're poking fun at which is the civil war? I'm guessing it's the Spanish one.

Not right.

These were written 20 to 30 years after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle ("Fourteen of the 27 books in the New Testament have traditionally been attributed to Paul. Seven of the Pauline epistles are undisputed by scholars as being authentic, with varying degrees of argument about the remainder.") It would be more like someone writing about this now, which I do remember.

Gospel of Mark is dated to around the year 70

Book of Revelation around 81-96

The canonical gospels are the four which appear in the New Testament of the Bible. They were probably written between AD 66 and 110.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel


The New Oxford Annotated Bible claims, "Scholars generally agree that the Gospels were written forty to sixty years after the death of Jesus. They thus do not present eyewitness or contemporary accounts of Jesus's life and teaching." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament
