It depends which biblical scholar you ask actually, since he might be biased by his pre-concieved beliefs to try and only look for evidence that might prove his case for the reliability of the gospels and the existence of Christ. If you really want something to laugh at then answer this question for me. If Jesus Christ was such a great man and teacher etc. and died on the cross as you say basing yourself on some false writings called the bible, then why are there no secular records of any of these events occurring throughout history from non-believers? Of course you could pull out the tired arguments about Josephus etc.
No secular historians during the alleged time of Jesus life and ministry ever wrote a single word about him. This is contrary to what the bible teaches since it says that he drew a lot of attention to himself and had a huge following Matthew 4:25
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Yet no one at the time thought that this man was important enough to write a single word about him during his lifetime. His trial is no where in the Roman records etc. Considering that he was raising people from the dead and performing miracles everywhere he went I would assume that word would get out pretty fast and others would want to write about him or interview him etc. The words attributed to him in the N.T. may not even have been his words since there is nothing in them that is unique and is not found in other mystery cults that pre-dated christianity.
"Forgive me for asking a Biblical scholar but I attempt to be a seeker of the Truth and I also asked any other seeker of the truth if they had any sincere questions."
You seem to be seeking "truth" that only agrees with your beliefs based on your baseless faith.

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