Check that video I edited into the first paragraph for an idea of the archeological evidence.
I don’t really see how “if this theory were correct, Jesus would be a liar”? - like you point out, so much is up to interpretation. Surely an interpretation of the Old Testament exists in which this is the case and Jesus is still Jesus. In fact, that is demonstrated by the many sects of Gnostic Christians who the Roman Catholic Church had to eradicate. Have you ever heard of the Cathars?
I like archealogy so I might see the video, thanks.
I actually think it's dangerous to misinterpret God and the bible, and because I'm a very 'something', I've fretted diligently with the Lord for as long as I've been conscious about the nature of Him and me and the world.
God either is or isn't, there is no interpretation and if anyone has wonders and anything, He is taking questions.

”religion is like a walking stick. When you are young, you need help from your parents to walk. When you are old, you need a cane. When you are a healthy adult, you have no need for a cane; if you try to run, it will only hinder you."
This post contains a short documentary produced about the man who said that quote, and the top comment is a book written by a decade long student of his (the source of the quoted passage). I recommend it to anyone seeking to investigate the spiritual reality all around us.

I agree about growing in knowledge and longsuffering without answers.
