Godschild Wrote: Yes there are first hand accounts,the Four Gospels.
Wow!! That is the first time I hear someone make such an empty and baseless assertion. The first three gospels (the synoptic gospels) tend to agree with each other on some points but in many they show their lack of knowledge and agreements as to the so called events that surrounded the life and earthly ministry of Jesus. Johns gospel focuses more on the spiritual and messianic aspects of Jesus and is not meant to be a biography of sorts of the earthly life of Jesus. The earliest gospel is believed to be the gospel of Mark which many believed was written based on a gospel called Q which as in the case of all the biblical records we have no existing original documents of any of these. That N.T. you uphold so dearly is nothing more than copies of copies of ancient texts that have been reworked and rewritten, not to mention the many retranslations of its texts.
None of the gospels are first hand accounts and as stated by Tavarish were written about 3 decades after the alleged death of Jesus and they were based mostly on oral traditions and not historical facts. No one knows who the composers of the gospels were since they were first presented as anonymous works and the names that are attached to them did not appear on them till at least the middle of the second century.

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