Jesus is a fictional character.

There is not a single legitimate scholar or licensed historian who would agree with that statement

@@Bobby__K _"There is not a single legitimate scholar or licensed historian who would agree with that statement."_ Whatever. If you have evidence that the Bible figure known as Jesus existed, provide it. However, it is an absolute fact that there is literally no contemporaneous evidence that Jesus ever existed. Shouldn't we expect that if God was walking around for thirty years that the locals would have noticed? Fun fact: none of the Gospel authors witnessed Jesus. Yet you believe, without any evidence, that God walked around town for thirty years and then died and became a zombie and then the graves opened and the corpses and skeletons rose out and "appeared to many" and all of that happened without any of the locals noticing.

@@Bobby__K The Jesus story began in 48 AD with the first of the Pauline Epistles (which comprise nearly half of the New Testament books) when Paul realized the Daniel 9:25 prophesy of a messiah expired without fulfilling so he made one up decades later and set the story decades in the past to make the prophesy seem true. The fulfillment of the Daniel 9:25 prophecy written in 444 BC was the test of the true messiah. By 48 AD it was known that the prophecy of a messiah coming in "seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" had not occurred on the prophesied date. "Seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" is, 7 plus 60 plus 2 equals 69 total weeks. One prophetic week equals seven biblical years of 360 days (the Julian calendar was created centuries later), so 7 times 69 equals 483 total biblical years beginning with Artaxerxes' decree in 444 BC. Those 483 biblical years equal 173,880 days, or 476 Julian years. Therefore the Messiah would come and be "cut off" in AD 33. One prophetic week equaling seven Biblical years is something “Daniel” invented in about 165 BC, effectively an admission that Jeremiah 25:11-12 failed. Paul made up the entire Jesus story and added historical figures, locations, and events to add authenticity. Paul's goal was to garner support for the insurrection against the Romans which began in 46 AD led by two brothers, Jacob and Simon, in the Judea province. The revolt, mainly in the Galilee, began as sporadic insurgency until it climaxed in 48 AD when it was quickly put down by Roman authorities. Both Simon and Jacob were executed. He created the fiction of having witnessed the risen messiah. He wanted to show that the messiah had come as prophesied but was murdered by the Romans. This was to entice the Gentiles to aid in the Jews' rebellion against the Romans. Instead, he created one of the world's most popular religions that is based on the literal worship of ritual human sacrifice, rape, and cannibalism. The Gospel authors copied, and embellished, Paul's fiction. None of the Gospel authors, or any other writers, were witnesses to the Bible figure known as Jesus.

@@TWitherspoon Your theory is simply not true. A case could be made by arguing from scholars like Craig Keener and Richard Bauckham that the Gospels of Matthew and John were eyewitness accounts and the Gospels of Mark and Luke were based on reports from eyewitnesses. But let’s just say they are wrong for the sake of argument- this still wouldn’t be a problem for historians because we don’t have any eyewitness accounts for most historical people from that time period. Take Hannibal from Carthage, for example, who crossed the Alps with his army and elephants. We have no surviving eyewitness accounts of his life and deeds. We don’t have any eyewitness accounts of the life of the High Priest Caiaphas, Joezer, John the Baptist, Judas the Galilean, or Honi the Circle Drawer. Of the Jews who lived during that time period, the one we have the most information on is Jesus. I’m not saying you have to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but again, the evidence that Jesus was a historical person far outweighs the claim that He was a fictional character.

@@Bobby__K _"...that the Gospels of Matthew and John were eyewitness accounts..."_ Wait, But they literally state the opposite. John: John reached its final form around AD 90-110. Like the three other gospels, it is anonymous. The Gospel of John was only attributed to John later in the second century when the Church Fathers were attempting to define who, in their opinions, wrote each of the gospels. There is no evidence that John even existed. John 21:24-25 is written in the third-person, referring six times to "the disciple whom Jesus loved" -- "This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true." Matthew: Most scholars believe the gospel was composed between AD 80 and 90, with a range of possibility between AD 70 to 110. The work does not identify its author, and the early tradition attributing it to the apostle Matthew is rejected by modern scholars. The Gospel of Matthew occasionally lets it slip that it was written long afterwards, such as the description of the Jewish authorities’ cover-up of the resurrection (“this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day." Matthew 28:15) and the story of the field of blood (“Wherefore that field was called the field of blood, unto this day," Matt. 27:8).
