Jesus existed

Was there archaeological evidence that Christ existed?

What is the meaning of archaeological evidence?

The archaeological record is the body of physical (i.e. not written) evidence about the past. It is one of the core concepts in archaeology, the academic discipline concerned with documenting and interpreting the archaeological record.

What we usually call archaeological record are usually found in the ground. What would you expect to find as an archaeological record of Jesus?

Paul has two brief meetings with Jesus’ brother James. Since James’ existence would have been objectively verifiable to Paul’s readers it is not likely he made him up.

There are discrepancies in the Bible but these do not affect the message of the Gospel. The ancient prophecy saying the messiah would be born in Bethlehem begs why was he from Nazareth in Mark and only later from Bethlehem in Luke and Matthew.

Jesus's Mom having stayed in Bethlehem during the birth may make Jesus a prophetic anchor baby but he would still be from Nazareth. Even Herod Antipas' Mom went to Bethlehem to give birth to little Herod just so he could improve his claim to the throne.
