    I mean correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think I said any different? All we are reasonably sure of is:

    1. He existed.
    2. He was baptised by John the Baptist.
    3. He was crucified.

    However, any non-Christian who claims that Jesus of Nazareth was a mythical figure, as the original commenter did, discredits all of us non-Christians who find it ridiculous to believe that this man was the Messiah.

      I’m not sure of any of those three. The consensus seems to be that it’s probably more likely he existed vs. not. But there is no real evidence for it.

        I’m honestly curious as to what sort of evidence you’d like to see? By the standards of ancient history, Jesus of Nazareth is a reasonably well-attested figure.
