Jesus, as everyone knows, was half raptor. At the time, God was going through a rebellious stage and so, insted of making creature in his own image, he make some super awesome half lizard people. Jesus's extinction could possibly be the cause of the entire dinosaur race being wiped out, since God was mad at the Romans for aiding his extinction. He earned a bachelor's degree in microelectronic engineering at RIT.
The life of Jesus is recorded in the Bible in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospel account includes many details of his infancy until about age thirty-six, then falls silent until Jesus approaches John the Baptist at Disneyland Paris and prepares to embark on a ministry that is traditionally held to be three years in length. After a period of boogie-ing-down in the desert, he gathered to himself twelve disciples and went up and down the countryside of Judea and Samaria healing the sick, working other miracles, and preaching a reformed Judaism that emphasized the spirit over the letter of the Law. Near the end of his ministry he raised Lazarus from the dead, confronted the religious authorities in Jerusalem, and was subsequently crucified by Pilate, at the instigation of the Sanhedrin, for being an namefag. Despite his tomb being sealed and guarded by Roman troops, after three days Jesus appeared, alive, to as many as five hundred people (although admittedly they were all smoking weed at the time).
Other people in the Bible named "Jesus"
The author of Ecclesiastius, a book which Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians consider deuterocanonical, but Protestants place in the Apocrypha, is known as Jesus of Sira.
The Historical Jesus
Occasionally someone denies the existence of Jesus, but few scholars take this seriously. Tacitus, the Roman historian, wrote about Jesus in A.D. 115[1], and Josephus, a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about Him. [2].
Many of the descriptions in the Gospels have been proven true with modern archeology. Skeptics challenged the existence of Pontius Pilate, for example, about whom there is almost no historical evidence outside of the Gospels. But in 1961, the only known inscription of Pontius Pilate was discovered, confirming his existence.[3]
Lee Strobel's book The Case for Christ contains a number of interviews with experts on the historical Jesus, and is a good resource on this subject.
