I have no doubts you believe he's real but alas it doesn't make it so. I'm just saying it's hard historically to prove he was and everything in the new testament is taken second hand NONE of it was written by Jesus himself and it was written a long time after he died , it's really asking a lot for people to believe
Hard historically? I beg to differ.
Actually, the life of Jesus is recorded in whole or in part, different segments, in about 20 different non-Christian sources--historically or archaeologically--outside the New Testament. And most of these are little snippets--a sentence here, a paragraph there--but you put them all together, and you get approximately 60 to 65 facts, concerning the life, death, resurrection of Jesus Christ and the teaching of the earliest church. You can get an outline of His life and NEVER touch the New Testament." - Dr. Gary Habermas, "The Historical Jesus" (and "Who Is This Jesus? Is He Risen?")
Plus, most of what we know about many ancient historical figures comes from "second hand" sources. Take Alexander the Great. The bulk of data on him comes from the ancient historian, Arrian, whose account was about two centuries after Alex died.
There are a number of late 1st/early 2nd-century accounts regarding Jesus Christ, which are closer to his lifetime than are other sources closer to the figures whom they depict. If you throw out "second hand" sources, you throw out about 90% of ancient history altogether.
