I didn't mean to imply that there was an oral component I mean I don't see a need for one. You can pretty much trace every single thing those authors said to texts. Also you are comparing writing that was about 900 years apart from each other. 900 BCE Israel Kingdoms are not 1st century Roman province.
Not really. You see the NT writers constantly referencing the OT. In fact most of the Jesus story is an combo of Jeremiah, Elisha, and (especially in Matthew) Moses.
We have contemporary records of both men.
Show me where I asked for one.
Again. I just explained this to you. The two events are separated by decades. You are about as far from the Moon Landing as they were from supposed Jesus. And again Paul did a missionary trip there.
And can people be wrong?
The group James led was never a threat to Rome which is why he was left alone. He was a threat to the Pharisees but being a threat doesn't mean that they could do anything about it. Making up a dead leader would have made perfect sense.
Maybe James and Peter made him up. Two people can keep a secret.
And yet you can't find a single piece of contemporary evidence.
