Can you prove Jesus existed without using the bible?

Looks like a good website of which I shall spend more time looking at.

Another line of enquiry maybe start with researching Josephus. Follow any links to Romans and anyone who was against Jesus. I.e look in the opposite direction.

This is not proof but why would people be against someone who never existed.

Also Archaeologists Sukinek and Baggatti at different times and in different places have discovered 1st century grave markers and bone boxes with inscriptions like "Jesus is Lord" "He is Risen" and more replete with signs of the cross and fish and so on...

Some from Jerusalem who would have been alive at the time. Why declare dedication to a person who did not exist? Why declare Him Lord or call Him redeemer or say He is risen which confirms His story?

Ooh these sites are wonderful for anyone who wants to seek outside proof (from the Bible itself ) about the historicity of Jesus. Thank You!

I know atheists like to pooh pooh Josephus, but the concensus of scholarly opinion regarding the Testimonium is not nearly as skeptical as they like to believe:

Jesus in the Eyes of Josephus | Standpoint

Geza Vermes is a Jew, with no particular axe to grind. Furthermore, the authenticity of the reference to the execution of James the brother of Jesus was doubted by nobody until the hyper skeptical new atheists came along. Probably even some of the better educated of them blush at the rants of their more enthusiastic colleagues.

Why do the athiests not want to consider accounts from Josephus? I'm just curious as to what their reason is when he's discussed?
