Many would argue that there are indeed “multiple lines” of evidence.

One of you can correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t it Bart Ehrman that said that there is more evidence corroborating the historicity of Jesus than any other figure from “antiquity.”

You just choose to disbelieve the evidence…..


It has been argued endlessly, yet there is still no evidence from multiple independent, objective sources....of course, Josephus, Tacitus, et al, were not witnesses.

Sure, you can develop a multitude of reasons to justify your unbelief.

The Pharisees …. the scholars of the Jewish culture….knew the messianic prophecies…..saw Jesus do miracles and they also refused to believe Jesus as Messiah.

I don't invent any reasons. I merely point to what is absent.
