"Who is Jesus?"
Just an unproven, mythical cult creature, whose existence has never been proven, even though millions have tried for over two millennia. Their results are always the same: EPIC FAIL

Jesus is the Messiah (the Saviour) promised to our first parents in Genesis 3:15 (John 4:25, 26). But He is also The Prophet foretold by Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-19; Acts 3:20-24)), and He is also the Son of God, which means He is also divine. He was both human and divine. He was in fact, in His pre-human incarnation, our Creator (John 1:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-4; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:13-16; and Hebrews 1:2). He is part of the godhead trinity (1 John 5:7, 8). He is the living Word of God (Revelation 19:13) and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16).

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!
There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?
Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!
At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!
Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!
Josephus AD 37 – AD 100
Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120
Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD
Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD
Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD
Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.
Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD
Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD
Photius AD 877 – 886 AD
Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.
Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!
Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.

Jesus is God's son. Jehovah God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can live forever. (Read Matthew 20:28.) By sending Jesus to the earth as a ransom, Jehovah has proved that he really loves us.
