Christians would not accept him as the real Christ, however, because the consciousness cannot be resurrected. It would be Jesus in body, but not in mind.
It took 300 years for the cult of Jesus to subvert a critical mass of such minds as the gullible may have had. Those who would be Christian today is no less gullible than the superstitious lower strata of the Roman world then, they are now, like before, not all gullible to the same thing at the same time, hence the 300 years.
If one is willing to use exploitative superstition to fight exploitative superstition over the long run, say another 300 years, one could certainly gradually supplant tge culr of jesus and make those who are Christian today accept anything, another Jesus, Jesus's more pridigal cousin, or an entire new pantheon of deities protrayed as the smiter of the pretender Jesus.
