Meanwhile a person like Homer, of which there is no direct evidence he was an actual person, is accepted to have been a real person who lived around 800 BC by the vast majority of scholars.

Yep. And most believe Alexander the Great exited around 300 BC too.

Nothing is more documented in ancient history than the life of Jesus. Nothing even comes close. I guess nothing is real to these so called “scholars.”

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.

Our entire belief in these three men rests on VERY LITTLE WRITTEN EVIDENCE. In fact, IIRC, and I may not have the order right, the first taught the second, the second was a student of the third, and we have no evidence in writing at all for the existence of the first master teacher, other than mentions by his former students.

There are (how many?) manuscripts attesting to the existence of these men. What? About 8? Again, IIRC.

But of Christ, we have > 5,200+ manuscripts. AND people died, knowing they’d be arrested under Roman law for promulgating what He’d taught them.

Don’t tell me Christ wasn’t here in the flesh.
