But I'm not saying that happened with Jesus, I'm just saying that could have been. Besides, the Bible itself records the actions/words of Jesus, and the earlier books are prophecies of his life, and the records have been proven to be genuine. If they're all made up, you'd have to admit it's all a very very elaborate conspiracy, because the books were written centuries apart in a variety of countries, and still corroborate.
Does that eliminate the possibility of the NT being nitpicked parts of stories of different men? It might be or not.
