AnswerWe can not be certain that anyone invented Jesus Christ.If anyone invented Jesus of Nazareth, it would have been the author of Mark's Gospel, which appears to have been written in 70 CE. At least we know that the other New Testament gospels were based, directly or indirectly, on Mark, and that those authors knew nothing of the life and mission of Jesus apart from what they read in Mark.Even if Mark invented Jesus of Nazareth, Hebrews seems to predate the Gospel of Mark and yet it refers to Jesus. But Hebrews refers to Jesus as a High Priest in heaven, not as a human who lived on earth in the recent past. Arguably, the Jesus of Hebrews was not the Jesus of Nazareth whom Mark describes.Wa also know that Paul taught of Jesus Christ at least two decades before the Gospel of Mark. Once again, it seems that Paul may have been speaking of a more spiritual Jesus than the gospel Jesus. And he knew nothing of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, as Mark describes after the death of Paul.So, if anyone invented Jesus of Nazareth it was the evangelist now known as Mark. But he did not invent the Jesus of Paul's epistles, nor the Jesus of Hebrews. The origin of this Jesus remains a mystery.
