m0darn,

I’m not a biblical scholar, like at all, but isn’t that exactly the sort of thing he’d say/ do?

afraid_of_zombies,

He is a fictional. The question is if the writer needs him to do it or not.

kromem,

He was almost certainly not fictional.

Fictional constructs don’t end up having bitterly opposed factions splintering off within decades of their supposed death, but that’s an extremely common feature of nearly every cult organized around a historical central figure.

The specific depiction of Jesus canonized likely has many fictional elements, but the idea that there was no historical figure in the first place is pretty ludicrous.
