The writings of Paul are the very first christian literature we have. Assuming he existed and half his epistles are attributed to him, nowhere does he say he met, or knew anyone who had met or seen this Jesus. According to some his conversion happened just a handful of years after Jesus supposed earthly existence, yet he only speaks of a heavenly being, not an earthly one.Mark could easily just be writing hearsay or fiction. From those two sources rests the whole HJ.
