Is Jesus the Circular Messiah?

One thing you have to realize when it comes to the Jewish attitude towards the writings, is the Jewish faith has a much different attitude towards the scriptures than Christians. The scriptures for the most part are considered the story of a peoples search to get closer to God, and many of the stories are considered Midrash, not literal. The fundamentalist Christian take sections of scripture that are quite obviously Midrash and make it literal, and they rip parts of the very book that isn't GOOD enough for them out of context, mistranslated and misinterpreted to justify 'prophecies' in Jesus.Part of the Jewish tradition in studying Torah and Talmud is by arguing the different interpretations of what the various passages could mean and what lessons/principles do those passages teach. It is a lot more flexible in accepting alternate explainations than fundamentalist Christanity, nor does it consider the Torah and Talmud a science book.

So, the fact that there is insufficient evidence to say he didn't exist is enough evidence that he 'did' exist?
