I don’t know nearly enough to wade into the discussion but I’ve definitely seen credible scholars say that he was certainly a real guy and other credible scholars say that he was certainly not a real guy sooo
As a true centrist I think half of Jesus existed. The crucifixion must’ve looked real weird
I mean there were thousands of guys calling himself the messiah back then. Thousands of guys getting crucified for the same thing. Jesus being one of the thousands isn’t far fetched. I’m just curious how he managed to be more charismatic than the others. There’s more evidence to suggest he’s just a guy than there is evidence to suggest his existence is purely fictional
i know little myself but “certainly not a real guy” does not seem like a serious position (nor does “Certainly a real guy” for that matter but less so)
what i’ve heard is that if jesus were any other guy, the level of information we have about him would be considered enough to assume he very likely existed in some form. but since he’s the guy people get real weird about proving or disproving
