Not the dude in the Bible, because the things he’s supposed to have done are impossible. So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him. A certain amount of the jesus story comes from contemporaneous myths - IIRC, a virgin birth was a common one.

Yeah. Likely Osiris. Almost all of the Jesus stories are taken from earlier solar deity “myths” and put into 1CE Judea. Like a graduate school production of Richard III in space with cigarettes.
If they’ve devoted their professional lives to the study of Christianity’s origins and don’t know it’s mainly a retelling of other astrological and ancient myths (virgin birth, three wise men, dec 25, 12 disciples, temptations in the desert, the betrayer, the crucifixion, the rebirth, and on and on) then they’re probably not very good.

FTFY
that’s certainly a take that most secular scholars of early christianity would disagree with but do you
True, true. However scholars of Christianity kind of have a bias there, dunnthey.
that’s why I specified secular scholars.
