Default The thoughts of chairman Jesus

Is there anything in the records we have that may be an original saying or thought or story that might be evidence of a real person? Something like Oscar Wilde - either this wallpaper goes or I do, or Spike Milligan, I told you I was ill.

For example, he who is without sin cast the first stone..

To me, it isn't clear what you're asking.

I assume from the title that you're wanting to know if there are any quotes that can be traced to Jesus from non-biblical sources...but from the post, it could be just as easily assumed that you want to know if anyone can prove that anything in the past truly happened.

The answers, I believe, are, 'no', and, 'yes.

I mean the words of Jesus. Interestingly if anything is real it might be around the exorcisms.

Is there any connection between the exorcism stories and let your yes be yes and your no be no?
