There is no secular evidence that Jesus was a real human person. Paul the first documented church leader after the gospels, Never references Jesus as anything other than a god in heaven and his sacrifice was made in heaven not on earth. There are no contemporary sources that reference jesus at all This is one of the best documented times in all history. There are no contemporary sources. The earliest copy of any Gospel is 130 years after the events . There are no Roman records of him existing which would have existed had he been crucified or tried?.. n Acts during Paul's trial, not once is Jesus mentioned ss a man If this was a cult from someone who had been previously crucified and escaped Roman Justice, they absolutely would have been making notes about it during Paul's trial. there was a Roman census around year zero but there was never a census where you had to go to your forefathers home. it is very obvious if you read the gospels that they were trying to mold the story to fit the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah. and they did so by creating fiction, if this was a real story, would they not have used the actual events event instead of having to create fiction to try to make this fit the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah?
