No eyewitness is necessary to believe G-d always speaks Truth, "historical facts" are often denied, and whether or not a prophecy has been "fulfilled" is often a matter of personal opinion, prejudice, or logical fallacies such as affirmation of the consequent.

Not necessary, true.

Yet Jesus Christ did have His life, teachings, words and deeds historically documented just the same through the prophets, the Apostles, Disciples, and many other eyewitnesses.

Btw -- can you point to a single Biblical prophecy that has been proven wrong?

Chrstianity is a false religion unauthorized by the Torah.

Many prophecies are conditional, such as the prophecy of Jonah. Jonas said Nineveh would be overthrown. He didn't say "unless you repent;" he simply said it was going to be overthrown in a matter of days. Yet when the king ordered national repentance G-d relented.

The "fulfilled prophecies" of the "new testament" are only "fulfilled prophecies" if you begin with an a priori assumption that the "new testament" is true. You are saying "J*sus fulfilled such and such a prophecy because the 'new testament' says he did." You are "proving" chrstianity by assming its truth from the outset. This is a logical fallacy known as "affirmation of the consequent."
