Did Christ exist?
Here evidence of the presence of Christ in history
The existence of Christ is a fact that some people put in doubt to avoid having to fulfill the commandments and thereby justify themselves their licentiousness and wrongdoing. Others hesitate because they really have not been documented and they think that the Bible alone is the only historical source that speaks of Christ. They claim it was written by biased people to Jesus, thus ending this source of doubt.
know that the Bible is reliable. Besides being a spiritual book is a reference book history. The observed events are narrated many other historical documents, from archeology and science.
time ago a friend at a meeting, I made a comment seconded by another of those present said they can not prove the existence of Christ.
This is no new thought. Many people without even being asked what you say or believe.
Do we need a photo or video to demonstrate the existence of someone or something? Think
we have no photos or videos of Bolivar and yet we know that existed and we know because there are many verifiable historical data and written records left by people who although none became known alive.
know that Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar existed and the two lived before Christ. If after reading the following questions remain still see the book "Summa Theologica" of St. Thomas Aquinas, great scholar and Doctor of the Church, which proves the existence of God by five tracks.
I will say that there are many ways to prove the existence of Jesus.
Here are some sources named:
1 - Eyewitnesses
2 - Documents
3 - Sabana Santa
1 - Eyewitnesses and Historians:
For starters there are the witnesses of life, crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ, which are the Apostles.
You tell me that those witnesses are stakeholders. But it also famous pagan personages named, some historians of the Roman Empire, well known as great men of his time and none of them can be accused of being biased with Jesus Christ.
Here I mention four pagan historians who name Jesus in his writings:

important are the words of Josephus (37-101 AD), famous Roman historian, spared jail for Poppaea, wife Nero, protected by the emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, mentions Jesus in his book "Jewish Antiquities" in Chapter XVIII, known worldwide under the name of "Flavian Testimony." It refers not only Jesus but also James the Apostle, John the Baptist, Herod Antipas and Ananias.
Josephus says: "... a man appeared, one Jesus, if you can call him a man, because he did wonderful work ..."
2 - Documents:
Codices, Papyrus and Scrolls:
A codex is a book or previous document to press and therefore made by hand, can be a drawing or writing.
The papyrus is a plant that was used in antiquity to produce a material used as paper. They have long life but the oldest if not treated with extreme sensitivity can be destroyed with no possibility of restoration since it comes to dust. 
Parchment is animal skin, usually cow or goat, which means treatment is adapted to write on its surface.
have located several ancient documents that mention Christ, found in different locations, tested for dating and many other investigaciones.
Muchos de estos llegan a nuestros días después de dos mil años prácticamente de manera milagrosa debido a su alta fragilidad, por lo que normalmente se consiguen solo fragmentos.
Uno de estos documentos es el Papiro Egerton 2, datado entre el año 150 y 200 d.C., altamente deteriorado pero que pueden leerse pasajes del Evangelio según San Marcos donde se nombra a Jesús. Consta de una hoja de papiro escrita por ambas caras y fue publicado su contenido en 1935.
Otro documento es el Pergamino Oxirrinco 840. Acerca de su datación se determinó que era cercano al año 400 d.C. En este se lee que Jesús habla con sus discípulos. Este pergamino was discovered in 1905 in the town of Oxyrhynchus, situated in Egypt.
The group documents are found in the caves of Qumran, the Dead Sea, which are detailed below.
Dead Sea Scrolls: The Dead Sea Scrolls are an interesting collection of more than 800 ancient manuscripts and papyrus discovered in 1947 in several caves near the village of Qumran, Jordan, on the shores of the Dead Sea, the Jewish group which belonged to the Essenes.
Most of these scrolls were written in Aramaic and Hebrew but also pieces of papyrus found in Greek. Presumably Essenes occupants of these caves were converted to Christianity by the type of documents that surprising that there were found and they aroused the interest around the world.
The tremendous importance of this discovery is that the papyrus had found copies of the New Testament and other religious texts that were deeply analyzed by historians, archaeologists, scholars and all kinds of experts, scientists and papyruses from around the world, then refer to the caves to extensive research by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan and the Palestine Archaeological Museum, which resulted in the discovery of more rolls new hidden caves and a general recognition of the place, which concluded that these documents were part of a library that had this settlement.
Among the writings found 225 copies of biblical books, community rules, song books, fractions of all the books of the Old Testament book except Esther and religious documents.
These documents were submitted to different ages throwing dating between 200 BC and 68 AD Among the papyri are some that make allusions to the New Testament as the letter to Titus, Peter's letter and the letter of Paul to the Ephesians .
In one of these pieces of papyrus can read a gospel passage Mark.
Apart from these the Church has both papyrus documents, manuscripts and scrolls are read bits of the Gospels, 3 - Sabana Santa:
La Sabana Santa is more archaeological object studied history and science which have participated more.
Among the many sciences that have participated in the study are:
· Photography
· Radiology
· Carbono14 Dating
· History
· Botany (in the subspecialty of pollen)
· Painting
· Physics (In studying the effect in three dimensions)
· Imaging
· Biology
· Medicine
· Statistics (Probability)
· Numismatics
· Computer Forensics
·
· Mineralogy
· Hematology
· Biochemistry
· Iconography
None has been able to contradict the belief that is the sheet covering the body of Christ when he was taken to the grave.
test carbon-14 that made three laboratories on a piece of cloth of the Shroud was a test very badly done and is even taken by some renowned scientists without delving into the details of how it was done, taken as a fact that threw the false. Thank God both scientists and historians have provided incontrovertible evidence of the falsity of that test.
Of all the studies that have been made to the Shroud we have the following conclusions:
a) The Shroud covered the body of a crucified
b) I had a crown of thorns on hull form
c) had a wound in his side
d) The Shroud contained particles of pollen of flowers that can only be found in the region of Israel.
e) also contained pollen from various countries, proof that the material traveled through several countries Europe, as confirmed by history and iconography.
f) He had a bioplastic coating of bacteria built up over the centuries new Carbono14 added to the web with evidence dating to yield false results.
g) The material burned in the early part of 1500 receive molten lead which also altered the contents of which yielded false Carbono14 about dating.
h) The body of the crucified suffered after being tortured
i) There was presence of blood, was extracted and identified a number belonging to the group
ARH + j) Total absence of pigment of any kind
k) so far is inexplicable as took the picture. Excluded are known techniques for images (painting dye, dust, direct contact, vapor, laser, chemical, etc)
All matches.
If you have any historical data you are convinced of the existence of Christ, think of something inexplicable to science. Behold the incorrupt bodies of saints, people who loved Christ so much and were so pure here in the land which the Lord did not allow their bodies to putrefaction corrupted suffering from a cadaver. Nobody can say that these bodies are mummified simply because we need only compare an Egyptian mummy or American with them.
If you clearly see a comparison intact body of the saint incorrupt and in return the mummy can see her features but with a very marked wear. Compare the incorrupt body of St. John Bosco or the Blessed Mary of San Jose or Santa Bernadette.
If you still think the nuns of the holy companions, extremely poor, with no scientific education or improved techniques found in the Egyptian mummification, ancient practices that exceeded Egyptians, with powerful and rich pharaohs who had many resources to find the best methods of embalming chemicals and who applied for more than three thousand years and they gave great importance to keep their bodies after death, then think of the flower with which buried the Blessed Mother Mary of St. Joseph.
She was buried with his chest and a lily when it was exhumed twenty-eight (28) years later, the flower was intact and with the same beauty as when it was buried. "Inexplicable truth? At least I have not heard of any flower mummified.
Then my friend, when someone tells you that can not be verified the existence of Christ, be assured that person has a misunderstanding of the topic or blatantly lying (which is worse).
So when you have uncertainties about anything related to Christ is recommended that you instruct them looking for the explanations given by the Church, because she has the answer to all your questions, since not only has done a faithful spiritual but also hard work preparing historical experts, collecting documents and submitting them to the light of scientific rigor and the best documentary and historical studies.
Do you think you read this by chance?, I bet you were looking for something else and I got with this. I believe it is Christ who put him in your way do not hesitate, believe in him and save yourself.
If you like science and history you will realize that neither one nor the other inconsistent with the existence of Christ, conversely, if you go deep in the sciences and in history you will be convinced of its existence.
If anything, this reading has helped you to convince you of the existence of Christ then begins to fulfill his commandments, that the good Lord will reward you.
May the Lord Jesus and the Blessed Mother bless you!
