As to the raising from the dead, I agree there is no proof that it happened other than the Bible. Really how could we prove anything about Alexander or Constantine or anyone else from history other than King Tut? (we have his body)
I do remember that a card carrying scientist (I remember not who) on npr said to 'resurrect' someone, all you would need is their dna and a really good MRI... (or some kind of 'brain backup') Scientifically theoretically possible.
Here is something interesting though, Pretty much every "Messiah" back at that time was thoroughly excoriated by the Jews. But they mention nothing at all about Jesus. Even if he was made up, surely they would point out that fact seeing as Jesus had followers that history does talk about. See the burning of Rome 64 CE. Tacitus talks about it here: Great Fire of Rome
As to the prophecies that are fulfilled, Here's just one, Matthew 7:21-23. There would be 'Christians' they would do 'funny' stuff and would be working lawlessness. I'll let you find those fulfillments. Also, not words of Jesus but in the Bible, is 2 Peter 2:1-3 Sects? Check! Hypocrisy? Check! That is pretty much why many people don't like "Christians"
And I'll throw in one you might be interested in for free. History and the Bible both are clear that the first century Christians (and Christ) didn't involve themselves with politics. See John 18:36 or John 6:15
