So no value to a historical jesus, then? You're being flippant, btw, with your own scriptures, lol. Introduce himself and and give instruction eh.....................? 
Some people look to this narrative as christianity in a single book, and there is no jesus-the-man present. If this is corroborating evidence that the gospel, whatever it then was, was told at the time, the only thing it -doesn't- corroborate is the very subject of our discussion. Which is itself strange, since there are plenty of known and suspected interpolations. No one thought it necessarry to write jesus the man into this one. It appears that he doesn't need to be one for paul's schtick to play.
Your thoughts?
