< STRONG Secular sources of Jesus
There are several secular accounts of His existence. Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Lucian all mention the existence of Christ along with other biblical characters.
< STRONG The Talmud, which was against Jesus, acknowledged his miracles.
Talmud is a Jewish religious text that
a) acknowledges the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, whom many of the Jews hated and
b) proceeds to denigrate Jesus, saying that His miracles (notice that a book that despises Christ is affirming that He performed miracles) were the work of the devil, and
c) that today, Christ - a blasphemer - is suffering in hell in boiling hot excrement.
Funny that a book that is anti-Christian would acknowledge not only the existence but the miracles of Christ. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg.

< OK Josephus
Josephus offers information about individuals, groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant, extra-biblical account of the post-exilic period of the Maccabees, the Hasmonean dynasty and the rise of Herod the Great. He makes references to the Sadducees, Jewish High Priests of the time, Pharisees and Essenes, the Herodian Temple, Quirinius' census and the Zealots, and to such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, Agrippa I and Agrippa II, John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, and a disputed reference to Jesus. He is an important source for studies of immediate post-Temple Judaism (and, thus, the context of early Christianity).-http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forum/index.php?showtopic=79446&st=40
