I have read many translations and interpretations of the actual text. There is significant debate about whether Paul is saying James is Jesus's biological brother. So this passage is far from rock solid evidence. Many experts believe P

FYI, these passages are far from rock solid. Both the words Christianos and Christus are shown to be forgeries. Among other issues.

The case is not as clear cut as you suggest. This article explains well why the current consensus should be questioned: https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/5553

Actually, nowhere in the Gospels or Pauline letters does it say Jesus was a living person. These documents are written in the same way as the stories of Hercules or any other mythological figure.
