    There is literally zero chance that anyone was named Jesus Christ. The word (not name) “christ” means “king,” and was attached to the name centuries after he supposedly lived.

        I also read somewhere that the real person he may have been based on was named Benjamin. No idea if that source was credible, I just remember it vaguely.

      True, but scholars do have Roman records of a Jesus of Nazareth, that matches the description of Jesus and his followers. This is a man though, but there is relative proof of a guy that did exist.

      Also there are lots of early depictions of Jesus with a wand, and if you are interested in a detailed secular history I recommend the book Zealot By Reza Aslan.
