Christianity is false

I'm simply going to take quotations from my opponent and debunk them one by one."There were numerous scholars recording "history" around the mediteranean at the time Jesus supposedly lived and not one of them even mentions this "great" guy that runs around converting the masses and performing miracles Don't you think that a guy doing those things might just be newsworthy??" (sic)One part is right, there were numerous men writing history around that time, but apparently my opponent did not bother looking up the time period that they were active. There were several active decades before Christ, and decades after him, but no substantial histories that we know of were published before 70 AD on since around 30 AD. Jesus was active around 30-40 AD, we are not precisely sure when. However, there are several major historians that mention JesusTacitus the Historian, Annals Book 5:44 (AD 116)"Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus..."Flavius Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews, Book 18:3 (73-74 AD, before the Gospels of Luke and John were even written)"About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Christ. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared."Those are two closer ones, although the Gospels are also earlier (and later) accounts depicting Jesus' life, as well as the Epistles. To dismiss the Gospels entirely for "bias" is foolish and shows a lack of understanding for higher scholarshipNot only that, Jesus' time was filled with apocalyptic prophets, each claiming similar things to Jesus. Unless you were there to see it, you'd doubt any of them were divine, and none of contemporary newsworthiness. "Add that to the fact that christianity didn't emerge till 200+ yrs later and it kinda blows a hole in the whole works!!"Sorry, no. The Christian church was thriving by 60 AD, 25-30 years after Jesus. Before 230 AD, the suggested date by my opponent for the beginning of Christianity, we have 4 Gospels, dozens of churches, the persecution of Nero, the Epistles, the writings of Clement and Origen, Council at Jerusalem, Council of Rome, and many other important pieces of church history. This statement is 100% false. "Apart from that, there is no historical proof outside the Bible regarding the life of Jesus. It is possible that he existed, but from my point of view, it is most likely that the people whoever wrote the bible stories about him had simply mistaken him to be the son of God."Basically a summary of my opponent's arguments, along with his own opinion based on facts we have already seen are wrong.Having the burden of proof, my opponent's job was to show that Christianity is false by showing Jesus was the son of God, was not crucified, or was not resurrected. He failed at all three.Sources listed with their respective quotations~All the Best~
