A person could deny the existence of Abraham Lincoln if they were motivated to. Of course it would make them look stupid if they did.
I would have to defer you to a simple question here of Solon's mention

""Or you could give a contemporary description of ONE physical feature of "Jesus".
Or you could explain why none of this "fame" caused any contemporary historical notice!
Why would there have never been even one mention of just one of Jesus' physical features ? Was he taller than most? Of light or darker complexion than most ? Were his earlobes long or short ? Eye color blue, brown , green or black ? Was he missing any fingers or showing any scars from his days as a carpenter for instance ? What foods did he partake of ? What were his favorite dishes? What did he dislike to eat? How did he dress ? What colors did he favor and why ?
Why no details at all of his visage and "look" and physical charactor is ever submitted for us ? And yet all of the miracles that were witnessed by so many "multitudes" so often ...and yet not one tiny description or indication of what the man looked like , if just to describe the way he
"strode tall" towards the hill above gallilea"....or his brown eyes were as the morning dove...or he looked this way when angry , or had this look when he was sad ..or that prominent display of a look about his face when pleased with his disciples , etc
One would think with all these witnesses , simply, as well as all that he appeared in the flesh to after the resurrection ....there would be at least a few several features mentioned about him , that if he appeared so often to so many , they would ..and could have so easily described ? This was God taking human form after all , and one would think that the details of his physical look would have some importance?
It's just one of those things that makes one wonder aloud ....and a child would even ask about .

PS: Ben Franklyn's (and Abe Lincoln) features for instance , are the most well known in the world today .Even for the Hindu , there are many descriptions of Krishna as a youth and young man , or of Buddha ...or going back to Greece 500yrs bc earlier , we have the most detailed descriptions of Socrates and other then so far back even from the time of Jesus ?
So why none of Jesus himself ? |
