I really don't know what's so hard to grasp here.
Look at the movie, The Titanic. James Cameron wrote a complete fictional story and weaved it in seamlessly to documented real history. There really was a Titanic, an iceberg, a shipwreck, and 1500 lives lost. 1000 years from now, are we going to have some buffoon trying to tell people that Jack and Rose were real passengers and there was a great struggle over a big blue diamond???
Because that's the logic you're trying to sell here. Just because the Bible has some legitimate historical locations and people doesn't mean that there was some demigod walking around doing magic and coming back from the dead.
I mean seriously, how do you not get this?!?
