I wish I knew enough to debate every point, but I know some of your statements are incorrect and sometimes baffling.
>1. The Life History Of Jesus Parallels That Of Other Mythical Beings Too Closely To Be Real.
You name precisely none of them, but I assume one of the ones you're referring to is Mithras. https://coldcasechristianity.com/writings/is-jesus-simply-a-retelling-of-the-mithras-mythology/#:~:text=Jesus%20%E2%80%9Cmythers%E2%80%9D%20claim%20Mithras%20was%20born%20of%20a,companions%20%28or%20disciples%29%20and%20promised%20his%20followers%20immortality.
There's no real basis for this comparison. If you have other examples, please let me know.
>2. The City Of Nazareth Did Not Exist During The Time Jesus Is Reputed To Have Been Alive.
Incorrect. https://www.gotquestions.org/did-Nazareth-exist.html
>3. There Are No Tangible Historical Artifacts Linked To Jesus.
People who believe in the validity of the Shroud of Turin may disagree with you.
>4. There Is No Historical Evidence Of An Eclipse, Earthquake Or Rending Of The Veil In The Temple Supposed To Have Happened At The Moment Of Jesus’ Death.
We don't know the actual day or time of His death, so how are we supposed to prove or disprove your statement?
>5. The New Testament Was Designed To Promote Christianity Not Document Historical Fact.
This is your opinion. It is not fact.
>6. The Earliest Books Of The New Testament, The Epistles Of Paul, Do Not Ever Refer To Jesus As A Living Being.
Romans 5:1–2 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
>7. The Gospels Are Unlikely To Have Been Written By Disciples Who Knew Jesus.
"Unlikely" is not the same as "cannot be." And you offer no proof of this claim.
>8. The Gospels Were Written As Christian Propaganda
You are merely repeating point number 5
>9. All Later Accounts Of The Life Of Jesus Are Pure Hearsay
Proof? If someone writes a biography of Stevie Wonder, do you denounce it as "pure hearsay" as well?
>10. There is no contemporaneous account of the life of Jesus
There is, actually.
<Another account of Jesus appears in Annals of Imperial Rome, a first-century history of the Roman Empire written around 116 A.D. by the Roman senator and historian Tacitus. In chronicling the burning of Rome in 64 A.D., Tacitus mentions that Emperor Nero falsely blamed “the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius.”
<As a Roman historian, Tacitus did not have any Christian biases in his discussion of the persecution of Christians by Nero, says Ehrman. “Just about everything he says coincides—from a completely different point of view, by a Roman author disdainful of Christians and their superstition—with what the New Testament itself says: Jesus was executed by the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, for crimes against the state, and a religious movement of his followers sprang up in his wake.”
<“When Tacitus wrote history, if he considered the information not entirely reliable, he normally wrote some indication of that for his readers,” Mykytiuk says in vouching for the historical value of the passage. “There is no such indication of potential error in the passage that mentions Christus.”
Instead of putting the Lord down, OP, I think maybe you should ask Him to raise you up.
