is there any book, other then...?

Is there any recorded records, other then the bible that says Jesus existed?

You are aware that the Bible is made up of many letters and short writings by a bunch of men over 1600 years apart, right? And you are aware that several of those men wrote letters that make up the NT, they wrote them at different times, for different reasons, but all eye-witnessed Jesus, and so it is more than one source. So, exactly how many sources do you want?

Just so you know, yes, other historians of that time period did bring up Jesus, in their writings too. (Which, if you were truly interested, wasn't that hard to find out.)

sure .. quite a number of Roman records are claimed

some speak of the character in veiled uncertain terms, some are clearly meant to retell the contemporary understanding of Jesus from the time of the writing

none are verified or indeed verifiable

various histories written between 80 CE through to about 1000 CE

Mark

yes
the bible is a collection of history passed down generations of time for instance the book of numbers is the family tree of Jesus.
many texts have not been added to the bible at least my version the king James version is a Protestant christian bible while the Catholic bible has additional books inclusive to it as well as other cultures are referred to within the bible it self such as the book of Jasher.

Historian Josephus Flavius.

?

There are currently no legitimate historical records of his existence, but Christians will unwittingly lie and say there is. Also, they'll say their bible verses are "evidence" (circular reasoning fallacy.)
