there is a mistranslation of the greek word 'parthenos' to translate Isaiah 7:14.
here's what the verse says:
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
The confusion arose when the Greek Septuagint used the greek word 'parthenos' to translate Isaiah 7:14. This word, in Greek, does denote a sexually pure woman, and was the inspiration for the gospellers myth of the Virgin birth.
----------------------
in the Hebrew scripture, the word actually used is "almah", which if translated in english, simply means "young woman", not VIRGIN WOMAN. that's a little Bible history for you. so no, Jesus wasn't born out of a virgin woman.
Ever seen "The Life of Brian"? Monthy Phyton movie ni siya. Its a comedy but it asks a lot of interesting questions. Its interesting because it shows how things were like at the period, how things were ripe for the emergence of the whole christianity thing. People just tend to kinda ignore it because the whole thing is a comedy.
Does Jesus exist? Probably. That question really isnt as important tho. The read question is weather that Jesus is anything like he is being portrayed as. The thing about legends is that they are elevated to pedestals. As visible figures, they suddenly gain a number of virtues. So...
Assuming Jesus exists, is he anything like he is portrayed to be by the Church? Probably not. Not entirely anyway.
there are 3 kinds of Jesus; i didn't say there were 3 Jesus who existed. there is a difference. kung mu ingon ta nga duna'y tulo ka Hesus nga nilakaw ning kalibutana, it would be different from saying duna'y tulo ka klase nga Hesus. kung basehan nato ang latter, it would connotate which portrayal of Jesus actually lived---ang historical ba or divine. kung mu ingon ta historical, he existed, but question is---was he divine?

he was a nomadic preacher. did he stay in a permanent place? no, in fact, he was all over the place.

if you are really serious about your question, you really need to search for the truth if Jesus really existed. one way is asking from this forum or go search from any reliable source you may think... you must act on it and search for it...
