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.
The historical Jesus is a forgery of many gods before him. He is not the first to be born of a virgin, on dec 25, not the first to sacrifice himself for humans or rise from the dead. He simply follows the hero pattern, google "the hero pattern" and research the hero pattern gods you will realize very quickly Jesus is simply a retelling of older god stories. The only reason the Jesus story prevailed is because of the influence of the church on the Roman Empire and the violence the church used against "heretics"
PM me if you know where this is from "...knees in the breeze" and don't look it up!!
