    It’s easy to let your imagination run to whatever it likes. What you’re not doing it showing how your idea reasonably links into the text and traditions that we have from the era.

    Can you cite any academic sources that support what you’re saying?

    I leave you with (secular) Bart Ehrman:

    “He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees, based on certain and clear evidence.” B. Ehrman, 2011

      I see. So because a famous person said X it must be X. Statements accuracy is based on whom uttered them and not what the evidence shows.

      Can you cite a single Christian authority that support what you are claiming? That Jesus was not supernatural and no one saw a physical resurrection.

        Are you new at this? This is too obvious a strawman…
