Correct. The Romans were notorious record keepers and anyone who raised as much hell as Jesus supposedly caused would have been in their records.
THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE HISTORICAL REFERENCE TO JESUS ANYWHERE.
Not one.
The Bible does NOT count as a historical record.
First, it was written by men.
Second it was actually compiled by priests who picked and chose what books would be put in it according to their own desires.
The people who compiled the Bible DIDN'T WRITE ANY OF IT.
Well except when they didn't like something and erased it or decided to leave a book out because they didn't like what it said.
And when the Protestant Reformation came they COMPLETELY REWROTE the King James version and that's why they call it the King James version because IT HAD BEEN ALTERED to allow the king to divorce his wife and marry his mistress.
The supposedly sacred unchangeable Bible has actually been changed / altered MANY times to suit kings and other powerful people.
=============
The New Testament in its entirety is hearsay as it relates to claims about Jesus Christ. I am not aware that we have any verified direct testimony from the Apostles or any other of Christ's contemporaries.
There are no serious ancient historians that believe Jesus did not live. Theories that He did not live are fringe Atheistic goofball nonsense.
Why doesn't the witness accounts of the Gospels and the various letters written by Apostles and sanctioned by the church from the First century count as historical relevant records? Why doesn't Josephus' record about Jesus count? Why doesn't the various mentions of Jesus by Roman secular historians count?
You toss out all the evidence then try to build a case on the lack of such evidence; classic cherry picking!
