Default Re: Was Jesus a real person?

Its hard to believe that Josephus, and the the the authors of the gospels simply made up the existence of Jesus. Whether the stories told about him are true or not is a different question.

Around the same time, it was written that someone named Appolonius (not of Nazareth) did a lot of the same stuff that Jesus did, so both stories might have a common third origin.
