You obviously didn't read the link I posted Thagrastay. There were no written accounts of Jesus by eyewitnesses, it was all second hand info. There are zero (thats right, count them zero) accounts by historians of his time of him being alive. He was supposed to be known "far and wide" yet not a single historian of his time mentioned him (especially someone who could walk on water and heal the sick)? Read the link, please. The authors of the Gospels aren't even known! As for BC and AD, that dating system was made about 600 years after the fact, so who cares. A few quotes:
"Paul's biblical letters (epistles) serve as the oldest surviving Christian texts, written probably around 60 C.E. Most scholars have little reason to doubt that Paul wrote some of them himself. However, there occurs not a single instance in all of Paul's writings that he ever meets or sees an earthly Jesus, nor does he give any reference to Jesus' life on earth."
"Nowhere do any of the New Testament epistle writers describe a human Jesus, including Paul. None of the epistles mention a Jesus from Nazareth, an earthly teacher, or as a human miracle worker. Nowhere do we find these writers quoting Jesus. Nowhere do we find them describing any details of Jesus' life on earth or his followers."
So the only proof you have of this miracle worker are stories in a book written from hearsay, and letters that never even mention a man Jesus? Sorry, doesn't cut it for me, find me real proof. Though CSFilm has a good point, I think this is an important question because so many people put so much faith into this man who may have never even existed (and they probably have never in fact questioned his existence, most likely indoctrinated from birth).
