[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are documented accounts of Jesus as early as the first century. Scholars at the time did not debate his existence. But I suppose if you’re an atheist on here no answer is good enough so it’s an easy way to pile it on. [/quote]

I have no issue with research that Jesus was a historical person.  That does appear to be fairly well accepted by scholars.  [b]But obviously, that he likely existed says nothing at all about anything else[/b].  [/quote]

[b]Why would the apostles go to their deaths if Jesus did not do what was written? [/b]They had nothing to gain by spreading his Word.[/quote]

possible answers:

1. because they believed it

2. maybe the stories of the apostles going to their deaths are stores for which there is not reliable historical information[/quote]

[b]It’s my understanding [/b]that Paul is well-documented because he was a Roman citizen.[/quote]

And how did you come to that "understanding"?  Have you seen the documentation?  Do you have proof that he was a Roman citizen --  from respected academics, for instance?  Does that mean all roman citizens were well-documented?  If so, where is the documentation?[/quote]
