The actual way to deal with doubts is to a) acknowledge them *honestly* , and then b) to inquire in a meaningful way. Let's just take your point 7: trusting eyewitnesses. Christianity doesn't have hardly any. Paul mostly discredits Peter. And James wasn't writing to Christians, either; his letter is clearly addressed to Jews of the Diaspora. Your gospels are all anonymously written and then attributed (for some appeal to authority) to people who could not have written then, decades upon decades after the fact. All you have to do is look at the news cycle these days to see how quickly things become embroidered with the passage of time. But the only guy who could possibly have been around "Jesus" (Not his name until the mid-17th century btw) supposedly wrote a bunch of letters in NONE of which does he recount a personal experience. Jews were required to make three pilgrimage feasts a year. We see Paul hurrying back to Jerusalem for them. So he and "Jesus" would have been in Jerusalem no fewer than 3 weeks out of every year of Jesus so-called ministry. Paul would have BEEN THERE for the crucifixion. He was an insider with Gamaliel - are you expecting anyone to believe he wasn't also privy to the plotting, the attempts to trick "Jesus" about scripture? The Emmaus disciples say that all of Jerusalem knew what had happened - how could you not with ghosts walking around one morning! But Paul somehow missed it? Somebody like him wasn't curious about the guy and the events? No, your ONE guy never discusses any of this. Look through: He never even says he's a Christian. He DOES however say "I AM a Pharisee." Act 24, and that he does confirm that he observed "the traditions of the fathers." Acts 26. Not "was" a Pharisee. Not used to be. That he at that time Luke records a present-tense condition.
You make some valid points but it seems your trying to discredit Christianity. God does have a purpose regardless of the writings we go off or the points we cling to. God is organic there was no written word when we first came than there was. Going by the holy spirit and what we can sense is apart of God. I pray you find faith. I am injured and not strong in mind.
