No evidence exists that he preformed miracles outside the Bible which is rejected. He was most likely a teacher or rabbi and died for his teachings. No where outside the Bible references his teachings therefore whatever he taugh or did is rejected. The idea of the man God was probably formed @ 250AD when Rome picked up the religion based off this lone crucified rabbi. Some documents were probably added or edited to justify the man god abilities of this teacher.
Is that about it?
No Tacky...
Yeshua ben Joseph never existed...neither did Mary or her lover Joseph of Arimathea. Their myths were constructed by evil geniuses to gain political power over the rebellious mob which later became a fashionable structure by the time of Constantine I and the Council of Nicaea around 325CE...later it was adopted as the singular most effective weapon to control and acquire property and people ...
Quite frankly the last 2000 years will be seen by history as "The Dark Ages" of humanity.
