I did prove it.
And you cannot debate or dispute my proof, since proof cannot be debated or disputed.

Lest you forget, here’s the thing again:
Jesus’ historical existence is proven by Jesus’ historical existence.
This is the only possible proof, by your account of proof. It is also, by your account, indisputable, since proofs cannot be disputed.

Nothing but the thing itself CAN prove anything, since to do so would require one to show an evidential connection between one thing and the thing it is meant to prove. But showing such a connection would be an argument, which you disallow in proof. So it must be JUST THE THING.
This, by your principles:
1 A thing is proven only by itself, since nothing else can be adduced to prove it, since this would require connecting the two thing by argument, which is disallowed.
2 Proof of a thing by itself is indisputable, since every proof it indisputable.
