Convincing a Catholic that Jesus really existed...

[Francis_C]

I would like advice on where or how to begin to convince a baptised, confirmed, 32 yr old Catholic that Jesus was real, that He really existed. This person has figured out in his own mind what God is and thinks the Catholic Churches teachings are rather one sided and that his personal ideas are just fine.

Then I would like to convince him that Jesus is the living Son of God. But first things first. Please try to help.
