I agree with your post here, however earlier you wrote -"No non-christian scholars believe that 'jesus of the bible' existed ... Or Else They Would Be Christians.
The possible 'poor slob jesus', hut builder, that may have existed never influenced anyone."

Which seems to suggest you do not believe Foal's suggested position, here, -"The much more plausible explanation is that he was a spiritual leader who drew a large following, was seen as dangerous for this and executed and then in martyrdom gained an exaggerated and mythological status." Is a possible one.

Not at all. Any non-son-of-god jesus is possible, moreso if he fits the times. There is no reason to think that he did gather large gatherings or there would be more cross-evidence, but no reason to rule it out just for lack of evidence.
The was differentiating between Henyr VIII, and Shakespeare's Henry VIII.
