But none of the Gospels thought they had to, because they though Jesus would be coming back to save them in their life times. they didn't think it would be centuries later.

and how many people achievements were written about on the spot ? I haven't read a single book about the great achievements of a person that wasn't written until after they died.

also keep in mind that not everyone was literate and mostly passed their history by word of mouth during this time frame.

He didn't break the law; he got turned on by rumors and the king's fear of loosing his position pressured him to agree with the crowd

They weren't stenographers. They didn't have email. They probably didn't even know how to write.

Yet, they changed the world with their bold proclamations. Not of a prophet, but of the Messiah !! How would those fishermen even dream that up ?? They weren't religious leaders.

For all the good it does to argue the point of Jesus Christ being fact or fiction I cannot quite understand why it would matter in any way, shape or form. Is it not enough to read and comprehend the teachings in the Bible to know whether or not whomever wrote them was indeed real? Indeed, why does it matter if it was the Christ or Schlomo from Ur who wrote those loving words? For me, Jesus Christ is fact and His words tell me that He was indeed a most unusual man.
