"Not so... and not surprisingly you can't show it" I did show it. "As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:40) "Haven’t you read. . . that in the beginning the Creator made them male and female’, and . . . for this reason a man will. . . be united to his wife" (Matthew 19: 4) "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood. . . they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away" (Matthew 24: 37-39). "Interesting that you seem to care about it all though... maybe Jesus did exist ehh???" The gospels claim so, but it seems impossible that the person described in the new testament is other than a mythic figure. I care about it inasmuch as it is a topic of discussion. The New Testament is Divine and absolutely true--or it is NOT Divine and might have partial truth by happenstance. You pretend not to necessarily believe the entire bible as God inspired, yet you cherry pick utterances and stories about Jesus as though they were evidentiary. What a dolt! Unlike you, Jesus (according to the New Testament) believed the Hebrew Scriptures were the inerrant words of God. That in and of itself (His extreme credulity and primitive beliefs) is sufficient to suggest He is a mythical figure rather than an all knowing God! All Christians up until the conversion of Cornelius were Jews and believed entirely in the Hebrew Scriptures.
