If the evidence was there then the "modern scholars" wouldn't need to "agree", and the issue wouldn't be "generally settled". duh.
There is no evidence of a historical Jesus. But, that doesn't mean he didn't exist. Maybe there were many Jesuses at different times in the history of mankind, when we needed someone to wake us up. Maybe instead of calling them Jesus we could just simply call them Awaken.
Lol his existence is not in dispute. His divinity is. That's such an ignorant statement, but what can you expect from low level hand shakes. You basically have to choose between believing in written history and his existence or not believing anything from written history and his nonexistence.
You can believe anything you want to believe. I'm fine with that. But, I don't have to choose anything that you suggest.
By divinity you mean the Holy Trinity, that is... God is nothing and everything? isn't why emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea in 325? to affirm the full divinity of Jesus, declaring him to be of the same homoousios as God, rather than a created being. To me Trinity means God is both real and not real. God is a symbol and reality itself. It is the weirdest idea I've ever come across in my life. btw, you can laugh all you wish, I don't care.
Some opposites are between something and nothing, like real and unreal. God is real and God is not unreal, God is all being and is not nothing.
Some opposites are between two poles that ultimately resolve, even if paradoxically. God is Father and God is Son, God is Reality and God is Symbol. In Greek, fathers and sons have the same "living" and "substance", referring to their estate; that's what bios and ousia mean.
If by "trinity" you want to mean that God is nothing or is unreal, that won't work. "Trinity" literally just means threeness but has come lately to mean triunity, three-in-oneness; it doesn't mean nothing or unreality.
