The Bible Says Jesus Was Real. What Other Proof Exists?

The "bible" isn't really proof of anything. The various bibles themselves are selected writings from various gospels, scrolls and the letters of Paul.

It's like saying Zeus is "real" because various Greek scholars wrote about him.

When talking about "Jesus" you need to be clear which version you're talking about. The Christian Jesus didn't exist - the "White" image and messaging was manufactured by the Church to create a cult messiah figure. The modern image is largely credited to Michelangelo and was largely based on his gay lover.

The Jewish Jesus and the Muslim Isa (ra), are entirely different figures and more in line with what Jesus was probably like.

There isn't any. The "proof" hichbisnt actually proof at all, is merely the most probable speculation. It is likely that someone who the gospels are based on existed. The hyperbole concerning his abilities in the myth is obviously false but it isn't that much of a stretch to think there was a sort of cult leader which inspired the myth.

Regarding the Jesus mythicist thing, my understanding is that the consensus is that he did exist. I don't know the specifics, but there are sources other than the Bible.

whether Jesus was real, and whether He was/is who he claimed to be, are VERY different questions.

A Roman historian, named Tacitus, wrote about him in the "Annals of Imperial Rome".

Irrelevant since he also got his information from the gospels.

That he fathered around 100 children , this guy banged everyone with a heartbeat , but he's just a guy , the entire thing is a myth.

I don't need no other proof nor care for it. I believe the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
