Are you suggesting that the historical evidence for jesus being born of a virgin et. al. is as documented, as verifiable, as unequivocal as that for George Washington? "Thou art a god who hidest thyself" ...prophet Isaiah...

No. And how you read that from my previous post, I don't understand. I am simply saying there is historically reliable evidence that Jesus was real, that He did what the Bible claimed He did, and that there was an uprising in faith after His resurrection. There are even secular documents that talk about the faith of the early believers, and how they were persecuted. There is evidence of Saul of Tarsus's conversion who persecuted the early church, and he later became the apostle Paul after his own eyewitness account.

Jesus was who He said He was. He did what He said He would. He said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father." He is the image of God. He died for a reason, and did not resist it, but was led like a lamb to the slaughter. He did it to defeat death that entered the world through Adam which you can read about in Genesis. The answers are there to the origin of this world. The evidence is there for Jesus' account in history. The faith is real and it is separate from all other in the world. Jesus said, "No one can come to the Father except through Me." That means you abide by His teaching and His words that proclaim Him to be the Son of God, the only way to Heaven, or you don't go. That's His truth, That's His way, That's the life.
