You would take wrong, oh sarcastic one.
Most scholars believe the historicity of Jesus. And there
are many more who will not deny that He existed.
Your first sentence was accurate, your second not. If we're talking about Biblical scholars then very, very few deny the existence of Jesus.
None of us who are alive today know for certain that many
recorded by history as being alive centuries ago actually
existed or not.
Agreed.
Did Marco Polo exist? Did Tiberious Caesar exist? How
would one know?
Funny that you would choose two people for whom a great deal of evidence of their reality exists. Why not use William Tell and King Arthur as examples?
How would one explain the incredible expansion of
Christianity during the first and second century A.D., if
a man known as Jesus the Christ never existed.
Paul.
More has been written about Jesus than has been recorded
of the vast majority of men in history.
It takes faith to believe in them.
Yep.
Will you be getting to the part about where the historical Jesus created the universe soon?
