For example: What non-Biblical evidence exists that the Israelite were slaves in Egypt?

Oh, and run an internet search on "Merneptah stela." In other words: yes, there is, albeit a controversial one.
Good question. Many people don't even ask themselves the question and many others believe it's a "sin" to ask that kind of questions.Is there any non-Biblical data regarding a historical Jesus? BoyntonStu
There is some evidence, again controversial, that Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy descendant of the House of David, took his son to Cornwall and other places. Evidence also exists of Joseph paying for the tomb.
Now here's one for you, Stu: How hard is it to look this stuff up yourself? Are you truly interested in knowing the answers to these questions? Or are you posting them simply to argue about religion?
Personally, I haven't found any either, though, I can barely remember I watched a doc on TV once showing original manuscripts of the bible, but who wrote it? According to them it wasn't Jesus who did. But I do believe that Jesus could have existed and the simple fact or evidence is, simply just look around you. I don't think we could have been "brainwashed" that easily for us to believe in Jesus. I think he might not have been son of God as such as they proclaimed he was, but I believe he was a very wise and peaceful person with great divine inspiration, i.e., more like a prophet, but what kind of proofs do we want to confirm it? I personally think it varies from individual to individual.I have looked for a long time, and I have never found a single non-Biblical source that indicates that Jesus existed.
Do you have any historical non controversial information that indicates Jesus was a historical figure? BoyntonStu

Indeed it is, but with the weak minded it is very easy and the majority of people on this planet are weak minded; a pure fact.Actually, brainwashing is pretty easy and it happens every day.
One thing I've come across is to conclude that we make our own history/facts, i.e., if we were to have done something different in the past, our history would have been different today. "Randomness" of chronological events is somehow determined by three main things. Our thinking, our feeling and finally nature itself, IOW, brain, heart and how we adapt to the physical world.Let's agree to stick to facts and stay away from opinions and beliefs.

I still have more to say, but I'll stop here for the time being and see how others will respond and where it goes. This could be very interesting.
Thanks.
Yes it is, and FYI, there is a whole chapter on Mary in the koran.Jesus is mentioned in the Koran. That is certainly non-biblical.

Thanks.
Can you explain to me what a historical document is and how it is verified to be absolutely correct?
