I have read all the references to Jesus by Josephus, Tacitus, et al, but none of them provide any first hand accounts, and certainly do not prove the actual existence of the man.
Given the 'miraculous' nature of events surrounding him, I think it remarkable that no one thought to record events as they happened.
In the absence of any first hand accounts, I feel it is warranted to ask for other forms of evidence before I commit my conscience to that which I find, for the most part, unconscionable.
If this is not forthcoming either, by what measure does anyone have to say that the man - let alone the son of God - existed at all.
Come on! Someone must have some sort of suggestion? Google, it would appear, is not my friend.

Why, exactly, does it matter?
ReplyDeleteIt matters because I want to know the truth.
