Some people do take pleasure in the persisting ambiguities arising from conflicts in the fictions that make up the Holy Bible. Myself, I'm all in favor of research that will get us as close to the historical truth as possible. A powerful scholarly consensus is converging on the uncomfortable recognition of the historical Jesus as an eschatologically deluded charismatic agitator operating wholly within the Jewish worldview of his period. The existing documents allow fanciful constructions other than that one, (ie, he was a social revolutionary, he was a wise man with some excellent ideas about how to live, he was a conjurer and trickster,) but to me the consensus to which I refer is convincing.
