In greatest and most likely probability, Jesus was nothing more than an apocalyptic preacher in 1st century Judea who taught about either the need for the reform of Judaism or that he was the Jewish messiah and that the end times were near (or perhaps a combination of both). However, he was most likely put to death under orders of the Romans for causing agitation, and either through a 'pious' crime or actual displacement of his body/grave (either by mistake or grave robbery or some other method), was believed to have either resurrected or ascended into Heaven like Elijah.
His immediate followers (Nazarenes and eventually Ebionites) were simply Jews who considered Jesus a great teacher, at at most, a prophet.
Most - if not all - of what is written in the Biblical NT is the invention of either Paul or those Greek converts who worked off of Paul's ideas, themselves either outright lies or delusions. Ironically, the Church in its persecution of the Ebionites destroyed whatever might have remained of the original actual teachings of Jesus.
Jesus (Yeshua) was probably a real individual; Christ is a mythical and fictional character.
Proof?

But this is the best part. If it weren't for them Christianity would be just Judaism.

>"the more believable alternative is Jesus was a magic god-man who impregnated his own mother with himself in order to sacrifice himself to appease himself; and a number of other magic crap like resurrecting the dead and transmutation and breaking natural laws happened too"
Christcucks can't be this dumb.

Oxymoron.

Jesus is God, God is a title meaning "Creator", and Christ is a title meaning "Anointed One" or "Savior".
