That would be you.
And the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth is very much an open question.

No, there was a post that brought it up.
My only interest in the subject had to do with untangling the mental mess that's been in people's faces since it all started. When I reached final conclusions I tripped over the work of Dr Bart Ehrman - his approach was to rip the entire subject apart - but as far as what I was looking for, Dr Ehrman came to the same conclusions I did.
"Jesus thought that the history of the world would come to a screeching
halt, that God would intervene in the affairs of this planet, overthrow the
forces of evil in a cosmic act of judgment and establish his utopian
Kingdom on Earth," explains Ehrman. "And this was to happen within
Jesus' own generation."

You were the person who first used the word ‘paranormal’ in this thread. It’s on you, mate.
Neither you nor Dr. Ehrman came to any such conclusion - Jesus flatly stated as much in Matthew 16:28. It’s like reading Moby Dick and reaching the ‘conclusion’ that the whale was white.
