Historical Jesus, Biblical Jesus
Jesus, if he existed, was an apocalyptic Jew.
He was said to have said that among those listening to him, some would see the "end-times".
Paul believed the same thing .... and they were both wrong.
Jesus also said that "not a jot or tittle from the law shall pass away until all things are accomplished"
That also was false. There is absolutely no evidence he intended to form a new cult, (Christianity).
His followers as late as Acts 1:6 (When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?) thought that at that point,
he STILL had not gotten the job done.
There were many Christianities, and they were all invented by people later, because as they expected, the end-times had not arrived.
With 35,000 sects of Christianity extant now, it appears this process is continuing.
Jesus is not now, nor was he ever, responsible for the christianities.
His followers invented "salvation" and "forgiveness for sin" as they needed some organized justification to keep the cult going.
No one ever would have ever heard of him, had not communities of those claiming to be his followers, sprang up.
