Hi Ken.

I would agree with each possiblity you suggested.

Such explainations would mean that Jesus was just another one of many teachers or preachers who had legends built up around them and some true accounts likewise recorded. Such would downplay any concept that Jesus was better then Buddha or John the Baptist because without some miracles or super powers how could anyone claim he was given divine authority by God over Moses and the others?
Or even his local Temple scribes?

Although such might be true we have millions of Christians who would never agree that Jesus is not speical or different then any other sage or person of wisdom. He would be like King Auther (spelling on last name?) who was a real king and a famous Commander and Chief but also a person with a lot of mythology surrounding his name. I doubt if the real knights of the round tabel had to slay real dragons.
But the symbolism would speack to us about overcoming personal obsticles in our life.

Even Geroge Washington had the myth about chopping down a Cherry tree.

So I would agree that if Jesus was anywhere near being famous for whatever reason that those mythologies would follow as part of the history.

Altough we do know that people can return after being medically dead but that is done before the body and brain has a chance to become useless, and often they can recall being conscious in a dream state or in a out-of-body experience - near death experience. Sometimea a kid can be dead under water for a while and then reconsituted to breathing and life again. I do not know if a really super good pychic that can talk to dead people could tell them to "come back into their body" again or not? That would indeed be something else, but who knows what the powers of the mind can do for sure?

Webster said "reality is often stranger rhen fiction" and he might have a point. Lost of novelty and paranormal things happen from time to time that just are not logical relative to the norm.

And so I leave the question still open, for additional people to comment.
