Originally posted by KingOnPointI understand that most of what we know about Jesus (of a non-apostle nature) came through Josephus. He wrote quite a bit about Him especially in the latter part of His ministry.

Originally posted by buckkybuckky, here are the "Daily Notes for Friday, April 11, 2014, Foundational Doctrines, Part 9 The Bible" from a pastor/teacher and close friend in New England. I hope the "historical proof of Jesus" becomes apparent as the outline unfolds:
