There were, I believe, four Jesuses known to history from around that time, all of them doomsday prophets in their own way and none of them fitting the bill for the godboy even if you strip away the magic. Add to which the name Jesus (Yeshu, Yeshua, whatever) was practically as common a name then as, say, Dave is now, and you could postulate a thousand rebel cult leaders called Jesus, the existence of whom is lost to history.
