Huh? Jesus was never a person in history. The Gospels just show his persona role-play as the second Adam for Joseph of whom this story is told. And so, for Joseph this infancy was real, and that is the deep structure theme to understand.
Baby Jesus is for children much like those 72 virgins are for Muslim boys.
So God didn't sacrifice himself onto himself so he can forgive the offspring of our long dead ancestor? So much for original sin.
