"There is only one Jesus Christ that was born in Bethlehem, died on a cross, without bones being broken, speared in the side, lots were cast for His clothes, and He rose again on the third day.
Only time I am aware of these prophecies being fulfilled.

With no independent corroboration. With a high probability of the Jesus story being contrived to match the putative prophecy. Other cultures that predate the Bible have very similar stories. Maybe their stories were the true stories?

Do you have direct knowledge of others?

No! Do you? You did say prophecies.

Citations please.

You are the one claiming a fulfilled prophecy. Where might I find that prophecy?

Early historians Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, Pliny and Younger all recorded events of Jesus's life.

Many historians agree in regard to the historical documentation in regard to Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Historically, the tomb was empty on the third day.

The Apostles began preaching about Jesus's resurrection shortly after it happened, in the place that the crucifixion ocurred. Christianity spread quickly as a result. Christ's dead body would have ended the claim of resurrection and Christianity...But of course, there was no dead body. His resurrected body was seen by many believers, unbelievers and skeptics.

To which stories do you refer?

Do they have a Christ who was historically documented and also recorded as crucified, buried and rose again (in accordance with details from hundreds and thousands years old prophecy)?

"Where might I find that prophecy?"

Zechariah 11:12: 11:13; 12:10; Isaiah 50:6; 60:3; Isaiah 55:7; 53:5; Psalm 22:16; 22:18; 22:1; 69:1; 69:9; 31:5; 34:20; Amos 8:9; Isaiah 53:9; Numbers 24:17; Micah 5:2; Psalm 72:10; and Hosea 6:2.
