Yes, and that still begs the questions where did these original Christians come from? If no man (Mr. Jesus) lived that was their founder, who made it all up and why?

Oh, there is no doubt Jesus (Yeshua) existed. You cannot find any historical records of probably 98% of the prophets wandering the wilderness. Rome was occupying Israel, the zealots were in overdrive, everyone was looking for the savior mentioned in OT prophecy. Many came and claimed to be the one. Alot of them undoubtedly had followers. Evidently Jesus made more of an impact on his.
There was a small Church composed of the original disciples spread around the area. They were not Christians, they were Jews. They felt no need to spread the word so to speak because they all expected that the Kingdom of God that Jesus spoke of, was coming soon. Very soon.
And Jesus said...
