If the only jesus was the wizard in the bible, then ........you tell us?
Haha. I think historical just means that he was a real person. Not specifying whether He actually was who He claimed to be.
The "Jesus" character in the Gospels is most likely a combination of the three main Jewish rebel leaders against the Romans. They were real people. The "Jesus" character concocted by the lunatic Paul was strictly imaginary. He created him as a vehicle to spread his cult as a counter to the Way cult, which he was dedicated to destroy. So the exploits of the rebel leaders were written as religious stories under the banner of Paul's imaginary "Jesus" character instead of the actual political stories that they were.
