He didn't believe there was any "life" of jesus, he didn't believe that jesus was a man at all. The historical jesus, is a man around whom the myths were hypothetically accrued. Marcions christ was explicitly mythical.
You need to begin with a basis of common and easily researched facts, not the batshit desire to pursue your own superstitions and rehabilitate others superstitions in light of them.
Nice dodge, I asked you specifically what you mean by “he didn’t believe he was a man”, if this is suppose to mean something more then what I already indicated that he didn’t believe Jesus was made of flesh, like the rest of us, but only appeared as if he did.
So try again troll.
Please define what you mean by “a man” if it means something more than made of flesh?
