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.
It's my opinion that your reliance on the Gospels as historical sources is flawed. Having said that, it is possible a real man named Jesus of Nazareth lived in the first century, even if the religious details surrounding his life are legendary. It is also possible this person really understood the meaning of "Christ". Christ embodies the universal consciousness that transcends individual identity serving as the essence of spiritual enlightenment.
Lol, "let me tell you the Gospel, the OT prophecies and the subsequent apostolic Church that kept the teachings and spread Christianity all over the Earth as prophesized are made up by my gnostic new age take I red by some random guy, writing about it 20c later while high on shrooms about "Christ consciousness" is totally real."
If the evidence was there then the "modern scholars" wouldn't need to "agree", and the issue wouldn't be "generally settled". duh.

Not only did jesus exist, but there is more historical evidence that He rose from the dead than there is that George Washington EVEN EXISTED!!!!
