What is the most convincing evidence for the existence of Jesus?
Apart from the Bible, as there are too many flaws for it to be taken as solid evidence he was here.
I want to believe, I'm trying to believe. It just seems to me that there is more evidence against Christianity than there is for it.
My answer:

My answer:
Apart from the bible, which by the way would hold up as substantial evidence in a court of law, we see testimony of Jesus from:
Tacitus - a Roman historian
Suetonius
Pliny the Younger
Epictetus
Lucian
Aristides
Hieracles
Josephus
and Julian the Apostate just to name a few.
By the way, with much respect, how do we know that Julius Caesar really existed? By historical accounts. The New Testament has and will time after time be supported by history. Do the research with an open heart and don't allow the biased Christian haters make your decision for you. If Christ is real (and I believe He is), then He will reveal to you the truth. Oh yeah, there is no evidence against Christianity, for I am one and there is no proof that I don't exist.
