Guess which answer was mine. (wink)
.
Jesus is indisputably a Biblical character... "Jesus is exactly what the Bible says he is"...
.
Agree. We can't reject this as a fact. He IS what the BIBLE says he is. Jesus is also indisputably a character in the Qur'an. The same fact applies to that sacred text -- Jesus IS what the QUR'AN says he is.
.
But I believe Jesus is worthy of further study. Whether as some complex manifestion of God or as an ancient wise human.
.
Agree. While Jesus IS the central NT Bible character, his apostles and disciples' writings deserve further study as well. Central figures in other sacred texts (The Tao Te Ching, Mahabharata, the Gospel of Buddha, the Vedas, the Khorda Avesta, etc.) are also worthy of study, IMO.

"Christianity as it was originally founded"
.
No one alive today knows how Christianity was 'originally founded', since they weren't present at its 'founding'. "...what is history and what is allegory, blurs." Exactly.
