Some atheists claim that Jesus never even existed, which means that the Apostles would have had to claim in Judea, in Nazareth too and elsewhere that this great man named Jesus was the son of God whom NO ONE ELSE saw except these few men and he did these miracles and then they would have to convince people to worship this man in this story and the Apostles got killed for this prank. The New Testament of course tells that people saw Jesus and what he did and that's why there were already thousands of Christians before the Acts happened and that's why the Jews killed Christians because they felt like this Jesus guy had led them away from Judaism

There isn't even one painting, sculpture, or piece of writing dedicated to the depiction of "jesus christ" that was created during the time when was supposedly walking the earth. The earliest work that mentions him is the new testament and that was created decades and centuries after his supposed death. If he was really doing all these amazing miracles and had this huge following then there would be evidence to show this, which there isn't.
Not centuries and one reason sources outside the Bible don't exist that much is because God wants us to believe in Jesus through FAITH. Is it faith if there are just dozens of writings of Jesus and his miracles outside of the Bible?
The opposite is true. The people who claim Jesus existed have only a single book notorious for its anachronism and fallibility. Half of the new testament was supposedly written by a known grifter, the synoptic texts were ghostwritten and there and hundreds of contradictions
It's called "damnatio memoriae". It's just one of the many tools that the Romans used to try and eradicate the Christian menace.
jesus Christ is realisation of self recognizing god, & accepting that responsibility.

Jesus visited Mexico, dude.

It's faith when a bum tries to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge and you fork over 10% of your earning for the rest of your life without seeing any proof he owned it.
>terrorists blow themselves up for Allah, that must mean their religion is true
You're a retard.
Waiting 50 years is literally ensuring anyone who lived in those places at that time who could potentially called bullshit on Saul would have already died off. It's what Ronald Kessler used to do all the time to ensure a best-seller, wait until all the witnesses are dead then write a book filled with lies.
