(23,720 posts)which suggested that you were saying that the Apostles wrote about Jesus. I pointed out that they did not. I also provided information in regards to his contemporaries (people such as historians) who wrote about events during that time in history. Obviously, it went unread.
Now you've become exhausted. I can see why. You've avoided my question and presented a false argument. No, your name is not in the New York Times. However in 2000 years it will be found in the government records of our time. And IF you make a substantial mark in this world with your PHD in History, it might even be expected that you could be found in History books in 2000 yeas. And that is the point. There will be a record of your existence. With Jesus, we have a man that made a substantial mark in this world and there is no record of him outside of the Bible.
I'm certain, that during that historical period, there were lots of people named Jesus, just as there are many people walking the earth today that are named Jesus. But none of them is the Jesus that the Bible talks about.
As far as your last statement goes, I would think that there is first hand documentation of the conquest probably written by the Spanish if not the Incas within days or months of the event, not decades later, as the Gospels are.
