I don't think Jesus lived. The more I read about it the more I think I'm not sure there was even a historical Jesus.
Here is New Testament Scholar and atheist Bart Ehrman on the existence of Jesus:
“Despite the enormous range of opinion, there are several points on which virtually all scholars of antiquity agree. Jesus was a Jewish man, known to be a preacher and teacher, who was crucified (a Roman form of execution) in Jerusalem during the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea” (p. 12).
