What is interesting about Jesus, though, was how many of the Old Testament prophecies he fulfilled. It was an absolute obscene number, including many when he was born, a child, etc. 

Also contrary to many other "messiahs" at the time. He didn't fit the "rise up and destroy Israel's enemies" bill that most of the Israelites were looking for in a messiah.

The Old Testament prophecies say the messiah will be born in Bethlehem, but Jesus was from Nazareth. So there are two contradictory accounts added decades later to make Jesus from Nazareth.

In one, Jesus family lives in Bethlehem, where Jesus is born. But then they have to flee to Egypt, then later decide it's safer to settle in Nazareth.

In the second, Jesus' family is living in Nazareth, but have to go to Bethlehem for a census, and that's where Jesus is born. Then they go straight back to Nazareth.

The fact that they to make up stories about Jesus being from Bethlehem when he was actually from Nazareth is a strong indication that he is based on a real person - if he were completely made up, they would have said he was from Bethlehem
