JP I notice how selective you are in answering specific post,but every time I bring up the Q document you ignore my refutations although I think that I have made valid points on the matter.As to the existence of Jesus Christ there is no evidence outside of the gospels that point to the existence of a literal Jesus.In fact as I have stated in other posts his so called earthly life is only captured in biographical form in the synoptic gospels and some of the apocryphal books.All these writers were believers in a literal Christ so I believe that that alone disqualifies them as witnesses since their testimony is swayed by their own personal convictions.Not to mention that none of them had ever met or walked with this fictional Christ.The entire N.T. is based on second and third person accounts and it could even be possibly further removed.
There is also that matter that Jesus Christ is not even a proper name but a title.
The name Jesus is a transliteration of the Hebrew "Joshua" (which is why you find Him occasionally referred to as Yeshua by people of Jewish background who have become Christians).
The Hebrew word Joshua means 'Jehovah is salvation', hence the meaning of Jesus name savior.
Christ="anointed one" or "messiah"
No one knows where he was crucified or where the actual tomb is located and all the locations that are currently used for tourists are symbolic.There is literally not a shred of valid unbiased evidence available to confirm the existence of Jesus Christ.And if he did exist I don't think he was named Jesus Christ in the first place.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
