When you die your consciousness ceases to exist. Show me any evidence to the contrary. Its tough. Get used to it.
They do not claim that he just popped into existence. They claim and even less believable thing. God always existed, and so is infinite. Yeah, right.
We do not know what happened long ago. Historians generally look for hard records of the period, multiple references from independent sources.
For Jesus we have the four approved gospels, and several unapproved ones. None were written until a generation after his death. All have had major editing, and they still can not agree on the number of people who went to Jesus' tomb. Also these are not unbiased reports. They are not suitable for verifying historical events.
Other than that there is a passage attributed to the Jewish historian Josephus. However the bit that mentions Jesus is in a totally different style from the rest of the text. I.E. somebody added it in to make Jesus more believable. There are also a couple of mentions much later by Roman historians talking about the followers of Christos making trouble in Judea but since Christos meant Messiah, and there were plenty of people claiming that title at the time this also carries no weight in historically verifying Jesus.

Have fun at catholic school. Try not to laugh too much.

Salvation is a Gift it is a free Gift from God.. and being baptized does not save u. Excepting Jesus into ur life, confessing ur sins to Him is what saves u. Jesus is our Salvation, He is the Way, the Truth, the Light that never goes out.
God is the Creator of all things, how He got there is a mystery to everyone, no one has that answer..As far as what the Bible teaches, it teaches the Truth of God, and we know God don't lie..right?

Into an conclusion, interior a deep depresion, He saved my lifestyles (!!!) the very 2d I left away of all my deep desires...

The logical explaination of God is that the line has to end somewhere and that somewhere is God. There has to be something infinate, God.
Catholicism is a cult, a big cult. I mean people worshiping the statues, that's not monothiestic.

Today's religions hide the fact that originally God was considered to be a Woman called Goddess. God did not create man but ancient mankind who created God. That's why God never shows up the way he used to do in the Bible.

I looked at your profile. In one question, you are 12. In another question, you are 13. In another question, you are 14.
I've been involved with students your age at 4 different Catholic schools, and can assure you that you haven't been paying attention to much of anything.
The Catholic Catecism, and the Bible itself do not profess what you pretend to have been taught.
Nice try.

Josephus and other “unbelievers” chronicled the stories of Christ and verify many events of the New Testament.
I don’t believe it is possible to “Con” someone into being moral.
In Romans 10:9 Paul tells us that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you are saved.
I’ll tell you that if you continue to believe in your heart and continue to confess with your mouth you will continue to be saved.

it takes faith to believe that God has always existed but its true. the bible is very accurate on everything in it but many people misinterpret alot of things in it. not being baptised wont send u to hell but its the Lords will that we all be baptised. and no being baptised doesnt mean its a done deal on going to heaven. believe in him and love him and u cant lose

God never required a creator or a beginning, because God is beyond time and space, therefore God is timeless and infinite! Having said this, God has always existed! God bless.

Wow
You need to read your bible. If you do not have one, get one.
Salvation is a free gift, it only needs to be accepted.
Once accepted, it needs to be opened and used, not placed on a shelf and never used and cherished.
The only written word that will answer your questions is the word of God. Please read it, pray for understanding of it, and once understood, live it.
