You apparently never read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are filled with eyewitness testimony. According to William F. Albright the entire New Testament was finished prior to the year 70.
Except the Gospels are all anonymous, written in the third person, and none claim to be eyewitness accounts.
Ringo also needs to consider average life expectancy in 1st century Judea. and how old any such puported witnesses were at the time of alleged events.
No christian seems able to come up with an impartial reliable source detailing how many actual verifiable witnesses there were of worthwhile repute.
Further; Romans were constantly very watchful of events in insurrection prone Judea and they were meticulous record keepers....iF a man that had killed through crucifixion was then found/widely reported to be walking around the province for 40 days after his death , surely it would arouse much interest and investigation by the Romans?
Josephus records the trials and tribulations of several Jewish Messianic figures of the time. It's interesting to note that several of alleged Gospel accounts see to be lifted from these accounts in Josephus.
