No not that I could find!
But
Millions since claim to know him personally!
I don't try to find ways to disprove Jesus because He is in my heart and after 36 years of His being faithful to me in answering prayer and just plain everyday living I have no need to doubt him.
History says that Pliny the Younger tried to get Christians to deny Christ but they refused.
Jesus in History!
CORNELIUS TACITUS (55 - 120 A.D.)
simply provides evidence of Jesus' existence (a topic not
debated at this point in history) and not his divinity.
GAIUS SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS (69 - 130 A.D.)evidence of Jesus' existence
Suetonius records the expulsion of the Christian Jews
from Rome (mentioned in Acts 18:2) and confirms the Christian faith being founded by Christ.
THALLUS (~ 52 A.D.)evidence of Jesus' existence
Thallus' explanation
of the midday darkness which occurred during the Passover of Jesus' crucifixion. Thallus tries to dismiss the
darkness as a natural occurrence (a solar eclipse) but Africanus argues (and any astronomer can confirm) a
solar eclipse cannot physically occur during a full moon due to the alignment of the planets.
PLINY THE YOUNGER (63 - 113 A.D)evidence of Jesus' existence
Pliny the Younger admits to torturing and executing Christians who
refused to deny Christ.
CELSUS (~ 178 A.D.)evidence of Jesus' existence
He went to
great lengths to disprove the divinity of Jesus yet never denied His actual existence.
Pliny the Younger; Tacitus; Josephus; the Jewish Talmud;
Encyclopedia Britannica 2002;
After summarizing the references to Jesus Christ and his followers by the historians of the first two centuries,
The Encyclopedia Britannica (2002 edition) concludes:
“These independent accounts
prove
that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity
never
doubted the historicity of Jesus,
which was disputed for the first time
and on
inadequate grounds
at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries.”"
You have to ask yourself what is so important about this itinerant Carpenter?
What about Jesus is He The Messiah promised from Adam and Eve until now just before his second coming to fulfill the second half of his prophecy?
Is Jesus slow to come or Longsuffering to SAVE even his enemies?
Fraud?
OR
GOD?
After being a Christian for 36 years I have no doubt that He is active in the lives of Men!
That Jesus is The visible image of the invisible GOD!
That Jesus is The Messiah!
Here is some Logic for you that are standing on the edge of accepting Him!
What are the ODDS that Jesus is NOT Who He says He is ??
Jesus Christ is without a doubt the Messiah :
The Old Testament gives us a thumbprint: "Its says that when you find the person that fits this thumbprint, that's the Messiah!"
Throughout History Jesus THE Christ is the only one who has had that thumbprint.
If you are A skeptic, I challenge you to study the historical facts about Jesus Christ -- His death, His resurrection, and the prophecies written hundreds of years before He came that show with pinpoint accuracy that Christ Jesus is THE Messiah!
Look at the odds of any one person fulfilling these prophecies.
A mathematician proved that the chance of any one person fulfilling even 8 of these Old Testament prophecies was :
One IN 10 to the 17th power OR 10.00000000000000000!
Those Odds would be like covering the earth with silver dollars placing them heads up and painting the back of one THEM GREEN!
And giving YOU all the silver dollars if you can pick up the silver dollar with the back painted GREEN in one try !
Oh I forgot to mention that Jesus Christ fulfilled 300 plus prophecies and about 436 details.
With that amount of evidence only a very dishonest OR foolish person rejects Him as the Messiah.
Psalms 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Accept Him as Lord and Savior of your life
OR
Reject Him at your peril!
Your Choice!

Psalms 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
(Psalms 2:12 KJV) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
For those holding back ...Jesus never withholds any GOOD thing for you and makes them all better !
He does make you search for him like the more precious than found money He is!
The Pearl of GREAT Price Jesus!
As an example the following verses is a testimony from those that Knew John in the flesh saying that WE witnessed this man John and He did many miracles and Knew Jesus in the flesh.
(John 21:23 KJV) Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
AS an Annotation:
(Jesus had said this to John and many must have heard the story because He lived to be 101 years old.)
(John 21:24 KJV) This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things:
and we know that his testimony is true.
AS an Annotation to clarify this verse :
( we knew John and testify) i.e. (saying they watched Johns life and many of these might have been punished or martyred by Pliny the Younger. They would have been alive then just a thought !)
(John 21:25 KJV) And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
My point is I am only 63 years old and I knew someone who knew a Civil War soldier and I had no trouble believeing His story.
Of course you have the right from God to choose!
Why would you be so stiff necked as to reject the Prince of Peace in a world that is going fast into chaos?
I have Jesus who promises to help me no matter how rough things get in MY Life.
Anyone who has lived very long knows that there are just somethings you have no control over.
Christians are not weak minded as some suggest BUT smart enough to realize their limitations.
Without Jesus .....
Who will help you?
NO matter HOW you beat your puny chest when young YOU will .... IF you live long enough CRY out in your helpless estate to GOD!
Even Bill Mahr cried out for help and when God helped him He denied Saying that it was just a coincidence !!
Jesus Loves the World and Was sent to Save not to condemn!
(John 3:17 KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Unbelievers Spit on Him!
Believers are in AWE of His strength and character!
He is the only one who deserves Honor and Praise
Because
He is the only one has not been a hypocrite!
The rest of us try to do WHAT He actually did.
