I don’t have any truths about my beliefs, they are what they are...beliefs, not truths. Please, feel free to interpret them any way you wish, as it really doesn’t matter.

Of course all documents were written by man. Just as you interpret what I say as you do, others interpret things as they do...or even embellish things they write!

As I said, it’s not hard to believe a man lived in Rome, but it is hard, to millions of people over the years, that a man came back from the dead. Don’t ask just me why, ask everyone that doesn’t believe it.

There is archeological evidence that your sins were forgiven by a man that was born to a virgin, performed miracles, and came back from the dead?

I would rather you state your beliefs, instead of me having to interpret them.

The accuracy and reliability of any individual historian can be established. The New Testament writers are considered by the vast majority of scholars to be highly reliable and accurate.

There is historical and forensic evidence for the forgiveness of sins, for the virgin birth of Jesus, and for the Resurrection.

All the arguments I’ve seen against the particulars of this evidence go out of their way to avoid facing concrete details. They simply don’t give their opposing response for example to the empty tomb, or to the fact that it belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, or to the behavior of the disciples in the weeks and years following the crucifixion.
