Why? If it was a popular myth, why assume he wouldn’t try to confirm/deny it
So? I’m not presenting evidence for him being a Messiah. I am saying there is some independent evidence of him existing.
I agree that is bizarre, but not proof of it being fake. Though should be taken with a grain of salt.
Who is Bart Ehrman and why relay his beliefs rather than speak for yourself?
