Premise of ? is incorrect
That Jesus even existed as a historical figure is open for serious debate. If there was a historical Jesus and the first gospels were written in 70 C.E. or later shows that none of the writers could have likely known a figure that was supposedly crucified around the year 30 C.E.
There is no contemporary historical evidence for the existence of a Jesus Christ. The new testament itself isn't contemporary to the time period this person supposedly existed. Also, to all of you that say the bible proves his existence, you can't use something to prove its own validity.
Then again I suppose this is a topic for another thread.
