Follow Christ but not Christian

Read the thread, this was already discussed and resolved

I have read this thread, including your link https://www.wondriumdaily.com/records-of-roman-life-letters-books-and-office-records/ and Bart Ehrmann. I haven't found any link or citation from a Roman document on a sentence decreed by Pontius Pilatus. So, if you have such document, please link or cite it.

Are there are such documents? Am not really going to read back through 260 posts to try to get the answer to the question by @talib-al-kalim in #257

None that have survived

Ok. Then your first indication that the existence of Jesus would have been recorded if he really existed has no support.

Your second thesis was that Jesus was an invention of Sha'ul, Paul. I don't see a motivation for a Jewish Pharisee from the Greek diaspora to invent a story of a Messiah that lived a short time ago, a lapse of time that is short enough to have most people still living.

Why should he be so bold to invent a complete lie?

How should he make people believe him?

Why should he construct , nota bene before the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem, a legend of the long awaited Messiah?

I'd like to comment but I will be unavailable for most of this weekend.
