text: is there actually proof of jesus? and don't say the bible. it has nothing to do with the bible. it's been proven that there was a man named jesus, who did live at that time, and who was crucified. there are various historical records regarding this. noone really disputes that jesus existed. jews, who do not recognize jesus as the son of god, do not dispute that he existed, so it's unrelated to religion.  as a man, he most definitely existed. christians believe that he is the son of god, and for that, the proof is in their faith, and the bible, as a record of that faith.
