It does not discount that possibility, but it does leave open the possibility that "Jesus" is a legendary figure representing a fusion of various religious leaders over a long period of time.
- coldtea 8y agoIt wasn't a "long period of time" between Jesus and the first christians.
- betterunix2 8y agoMaybe the legends developed over multiple generations before the first century. The first "Christians" would have just looked like another Jewish messianic cult, and would have looked more like the earlier messianic cults the existed before Jesus supposedly led his disciples than anything we think of as "Christian."
