is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.
the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.
i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.
That's not good enough if you want to be taken seriously.

@joeyjojo -
If I cared more about what people think than about what Jehovah thinks, I'd still be in the JWborg now.
You seem to care more about impressing people than truth, which is why you value "being taken seriously" more than I do.
Are you a former JW elder?

It madness to refuse to acknowledge the clear evidence .
The reason Jesus said "a wicked generation keeps seeking a sign but no sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah" isn't because of a lack of evidence. There was plenty of evidence in that day that Jehovah's Word had come true and was coming true and would come true again in the future.
Jesus' point was that those wicked ones were not really seeking a sign. They didn't want God's words to come true. They were so corrupted in their thinking ability that no matter what evidence was in their face, they still refused to believe.
Fire came out of heaven in Elijah's day, and yet some people still clung to Baal. The waters of the Red Sea washed away Pharaoh, the ten plagues shamed the idols of Egypt, but later some ones still worshipped the Queen of the Heavens, the stars, and practiced the mystery cults of Egypt. Jerusalem was destroyed twice because of the wickedness of the religious hypocrites there who falsely claimed to represent the Most High God, and yet religious hypocrites today still refuse to believe Jehovah is yet again going to make an accounting.
The storm is here, and it is sweeping away the false refuge of lies that have been built by both religious hypocritical institutions and non-religious haters and abusers of humankind.
For those who refused to believe that Jesus was God's son back in first century Jerusalem, they got a figurative smack in the face when Jesus was resurrected a few days after they put him to death. They were brought face-to-face with "the sign of Jonah."
Those who wickedly test Jesus today, attempting to stumble people away from faith in God's anointed king, will likewise find themselves face-to-face with "the sign of Jonah" not very long from now.
The storm is here. You would be wise to repent.

"Here the Pharisees and Sadducees approached him, and to test him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven."
"In reply he said to them: “When evening falls, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red,’ and in the morning, ‘It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red but gloomy.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret."
"A wicked and adulterous generation keeps seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah.” With that he went away, leaving them behind."
What "evidence" is there that the weather is changing?
If you've been alive long enough, you recognize certain patterns. The wind picks up. The humidity changes. The clouds are moving. The sky darkens or changes color. You can smell the rain on the gusts.
God's Word has always provided direction prior to a storm. There have been many "days of Jehovah" where He made an accounting or a reckoning with a person or a nation or a group. His Word has always come true.
Jesus is illustratively called "The Word" because he has always been part of relaying Jehovah's messages to humankind. The fact that Jehovah's Word has always come true is evidence that the Jesus of the Bible not only exists but has existed since the beginning of creation.
For someone to doubt his existence is madness.

That definition of 'faith' is entirely useless. It asserts that 'faith' is itself 'evidence'.
Perhaps you should read it again.
It doesn't say faith is evidence.
It says faith is assured expectation of what is hoped for.
Why is it "assured"?
Because of convincing evidence.
In other words, first you have evidence, then you have faith that is built on that evidence.
It's not possible to build real faith without having the evidence first.

Faith
Jesus was the one who had the angel give the vision of Revelation to John.
Jehovah is the one who gave Jesus the message to share.
Jehovah's Word never fails to take place.

What evidence is there for a biblical jesus?
When Watchtower (and the other religious institutions) are overthrown with a swift pitch, that will be evidence.
Jesus said it would happen. So it will happen.

So can you please provide independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible claims he did?@Jeffro: There isn’t any.
The Bible shows that Jesus taught about God and said those teachings would spread throughout the earth. That would take a miracle, considering the amount of opposition. There are many people on earth today who profess to be his followers.
The Bible claims that Jesus lived and died. Secular historians typically don't doubt those things.

If Jesus was indeed the messiah and was known to perform miracles, why would the rabbis see him in a negative light?
For the same reason Herod saw him in a negative light - they didn't want to lose their power and control over people.

Paul was not a eyewitness to any thing, he never meet the man.
Yes, he did.
