you can't, thats the definition of faith.

You have to be broken, rejected, and lonely to feel that He is NOT a myth. Only when you are saved (because of His tender mercy) you will know who HE IS.

That can only be a gift from God.

You can't for there is no definite records,besides in one book that can prove that he existed or not.It comes down to if one has faith that he was real or not.

How can you know that he isnt a myth.... unless you are actually dead?

Wait i went out and bought a wheelbarrow.

Bottom line is, you can't. There are no bones, no relics, no writings that can be verified as being his. There is a great deal of anecdotal evidence that a man named Jesus lived in palestine around that time though. Enough that I think we could say with reasonable confidence that the man lived and died there.

Get a King James Bible and read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Those are 4 biographies of Jesus Christ written by 4 different people.

PEOPLE! The Bible is an example of what is known as 'self-supporting evidence' - you can't take the bible, say it's real and use it's scriptures as proof for christs sake! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe in christ and go to heaven... ...

Ask a religious man to show you Jesus is real, he hands you a book that claims itself to be real. Ask a scientist where we come from and he gives you the evidence and all the information of where we came from and how... and they call the scientist crazy. The only proof we have that jesus ever existed is a book with a history full of turmoil, manipulated by many men with conflicting interests, written several decades after the man existed. There is other evidence, however, that Jesus the man did exist. I personally don't believe the miracles he supposedly performed, but i believe he had an important if not at least significant message for those in his time.

easy, it is impossible to Walk on Water unless the water wasnt that deep, impossible to be ressurected unless jesus was not dead but was in a coma for 3 days,

I suggest that you do a web search on Myth and C.S Lewis Myth is in many ways like poetry, that express deep emotions, thoughts, imagination, archetypes. Do you express Love by science or romance. Faith, Myth , Love makes us humane. We would not function well without dreams, imagination, love. Faith = Trust = Courage = Probabilities of Possibilities = Theory Humanity without Myth, Faith, would be Dead, Lifeless, and Hopeless. Children grow on fairy stories, myths, poetry. A bitter person is without faith, forgiveness, hope, belief in myths. Jesus is the Greatest Myth "Myth Became Fact" (1944) from C.S Lewis The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It happens--at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. We pass from a Balder or an Osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical Person crucified (it is all in order) under Pontius Pilate. By becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle. I suspect that men have sometimes derived more spiritual sustenance from myths they did not believe than from the religion they professed. To be truly Christian we must both assent to the historical fact and also receive the myth (fact though it has become) with the same imaginative embrace which we accord to all myth. The one is hardly more necessary than the other. from the "Preface" to George Macdonald: An Anthology (1946) [Myth] may even be one of the greatest arts; for it produces works which give . . . as much delight . . . as much wisdom and strength as the works of the greatest poets. . . . It goes beyond the expression of things we have already felt. It arouses in us sensations we have never had before, never anticipated having, as though we had broken out of our normal mode of consciousness and 'possessed joys not promised to our birth!' It gets under our skin, hits us at a level deeper than our thoughts or even our passions, troubles oldest certainties till all questions are reopened, and in general shocks us more fully awake than we are for most of our lives.

All stories that discuss people with magical powers, gods, and afterlives fall into the category of myth, legend, or plain old fiction. Jesus may or may not have been a real person, it doesn't much matter, but any supernatural aspects to the story are pure myth.

What year is it?

Because the bible was written 400 odd years after Jesus died and was only written by men. Oh and also because we can't prove he didn't exist.

jesus is a myth. the bible is a load of stories exaggerated to make things seem more exciting. even 400 years ago there would have been media.

easily, historical records are seriously lacking for this biblical character and there's a growing number of scholars and historians that believe him to be myth as well.

Listen to what your heart tells you. None of religion is necessarily a tangible thing, you have to find it within yourself.

Ask him. If he answers you, then you're good to go. If not oh well. If you're a decent person it shouldn't change the way you live your life either way.

Jesus is a historical person as there is historical proof that he existed.If you check wikipedia the 3rd part of the article regarding jesus is about historical views. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus

You can't. He is.

There is a fair amount of evidence from extra-Biblical sources that a person named Jesus did indeed live at the time the Bible claims He did and that He was a great teacher and healer. What you have to do is to make up your own mind whether or not He was who He claimed to be, the Son of God. If you are earnestly and honestly seeking an answer to your question, a good place to start is to ask Jesus to reveal himself to you.

There is more evidence that Jesus lived than there is for Julius Caesar. "After approximately 400 years of scriptural silence, Jesus arrived on the scene in about 4 BC. Throughout His teaching, Jesus often quotes the Old Testament, declaring that He did not come to destroy the Jewish Scriptures, but to fulfill them. In Luke 24:44-45, Jesus proclaims to his disciples, “All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Starting in about 40 AD and continuing to about 90 AD, the eye-witnesses to the life of Jesus Christ, including Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter and Jude write the Gospels, letters and books that later become the New Testament. These authors quote from 31 books of the Old Testament, and widely circulate their material so that by about 150 AD, early Christians were referring to the set of writings as the New Covenant. During the 200s AD, the writings were translated into Latin, Coptic (Egypt) and Syriac (Syria) and widely disseminated. At this time, at least 21 of the writings were considered canonical. Thereafter, in 397 AD, the current 27 books of the New Testament were formally confirmed and canonized in the Synod of Carthage. Like the Old Testament, we now have significant evidence that the New Testament we read today is remarkably accurate as compared to the original manuscripts. Of the thousands of copies made by hand before the printing press, we have approximately 24,000 manuscripts, including more than 5,300 Greek manuscripts from the New Testament alone. The Bible is better preserved, by far, than accepted writings of Homer, Plato and Aristotle. Of course, as the Bible was carried from country to country, it was translated into languages that don’t necessarily mirror the original languages of Greek and Hebrew. However, other than grammatical and cultural differences, God’s Word has been remarkably preserved and translated over the years. The Bible now gives inspiration to hundreds of millions throughout the world – that’s because the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 1:20-21)." ~http://www.allabouttruth.org/holy-bible.htm Napoleon's opinion of Jesus: "Well then, I will tell you. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions will die for Him. . . . I think I understand something of human nature; and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man; none else is like Him: Jesus Christ was more than a man. . . . I have inspired multitudes with such an enthusiastic devotion that they would have died for me . . . but to do this is was necessary that I should be visibly present with the electric influence of my looks, my words, of my voice. When I saw men and spoke to them, I lightened up the flame of self-devotion in their hearts. . . . Christ alone has succeeded in so raising the mind of man toward the unseen, that it becomes insensible to the barriers of time and space. Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy; He asks for that which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful! In defiance of time and space, the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, becomes an annexation to the empire of Christ. All who sincerely believe in Him, experience that remarkable, supernatural love toward Him. This phenomenon is unaccountable; it is altogether beyound the sope of man's creative powers. Time, the great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame; time can neither exhaust its strength nor put a limit to its range. This is it, which strikes me most; I have often thought of it. This it is which proves to me quite convincingly the Divinity of Jesus Christ."

You can't because he is a myth- the man may have existed- but he was not the son of god

You don't. He is. +5

If you have to ask this question, you must know that something is a little fishy.

Because I said so.
