There are none. Josephus wasn't a contemporary.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
You'd be better off citing John, Paul, George and Ringo. At least they existed.

Jesus predicted His death and resurrection while He was alive. He tomb was empty on three days after His death. He appeared to His disciples. These men's lives were changed and God used them to change the world. Paul and 500 others have seen the risen Christ. The early church grew greatly even with terrible persecution speaks of the power of this Truth. Greatest evidence is the transformation of millions of lives of born again believers.

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

A claim, not evidence.
What else have you got?

I'll never understand the point of this, Rev777. You are doing nothing to change anyone's mind. What is your purpose here? If it's really to preach, you are truly, utterly terrible at it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm guessing it has to do with some sort of pathetic "missionary" endeavor.
If he can preach enough, maybe it will earn him brownie points in Heaven and make him a prettier angel.

Maybe whatever version of whatever god it is he worships will give him the wooden spoon for being the best loser.

Unfortunately I think it's worse than being patted on the head for being the best loser.
He actually thinks he's doing God's work by presenting unsubstantiated assertions about reality, in the belief that they might save a few souls from the eternal torment allowed by his all powerful, righteous God because somebody ate an Apple, and the Romans had particularly gruesome ways of putting people to death.
Does it make a lick of difference in this world to the everyday suffering of real people?
Nope.

Rev777...
You talk about Jesus, but do you know Christ?

John was not exaggerating when he stated that they were bigger than Jesus.
