At this point we have been through virtually all the so-called arguments of HJers and they are fatally flawed.
These are the facts.
1. No writer outside of Apologetics claimed they actually met Jesus of Nazareth and personally interacted with him.
2. No writer of the Canon claimed that they met Jesus of Nazareth and actually and personally interacted with him.
3. No writer in antiquity claimed that Jesus personally converted them to Christianity.
4. No writer in the Canon claimed they were personally converted by Jesus of Nazareth.
5. The author of Acts admitted that it was the Holy Ghost that started the Jesus cult--Jesus was already dead and resurrected and was NOT on earth when the Holy Ghost came to earth. See Acts 1-2
6. The authors of the Jesus stories who mentioned the birth of Jesus claimed he was born of a Ghost and a Virgin.
7. The author of John even claimed Jesus was God the Cretor.
8. The author of gMark claimed Jesus was a Son of a God.
9. The Pauline writer claimed Jesus was the Son of a God.
10. Ignatius claimed Jesus was God but by a Ghost.
11. Aristides claimed Jesus was the Son of God.
12. Justin Martyr claimed Jesus was the Son of God.
13. Irenaeus publicly declared Jesus was born of a Ghost.
14. Tertullian publicly declared that Jesus was born of a Ghost and had no human father.
15. Origen publicly declared Jesus was born of a Ghost.
The Jesus character was a Myth like Adam or Romulus.
Adam, like Jesus, was made by God.
Jesus and Adam are Myths.
