was thinking that jesus did not do all the stuff they said...maybe he was just a really charasmatic guy who could really motivate people to do thier best and developed a huge following...sorta like anthony robbins. and then as the generations passed and paerents passed the stories onto their children and they onto theirs, the storyies became immortalised. then the emporer of rome in 168 AD decide to get all these stories together and make the bible, and jesus and gods "work" were put into a permenant form as we know today...what do you think

Jesus obviously did not do all the things they said he did. He was onto something, something that could and did unite people's consciences. The power of faith was a part of that.
But even his crucifixion (or death at Crucifixion) may have been untrue, which would explain his "resurrection." The Jesus story is too full of impossibilities to be taken as historically true, unless one accepts it as truth on faith.
Accepting it as truth on faith begs the question, though. If you aren't comfortable with that, don't accept the stories on faith. Do what works for you. I think if you stick to reason as you are doing, you will be better off. Your take on Jesus is closer to the truth than the stories, IMO. At least it's reasonable.
Have faith in your ability to think, and try to find good sources for what you take to be true.

I also believe in miracles and sacrifice, as of time and patience for others

In Jesus dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9 below) -
oGod the Father
oThe Holy Spirit of God the Father
oThe Word of God the Father
The only begotten son of God the Father (Jn.1:14 below), Jesus (the Word - Jn.1:1, Jn.1:14 below), His beloved Son (Matt.3:17 below), was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt.1:20 below).
It is God the Father who conceived in Mary (blessed among women) His very Word through His very Holy Spirit (Matt.1:20 below).
Col.2:9 For in him dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Jn.1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, (Matt.1:20, Matt.3:17 below)) full of grace and truth.
Jn.1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Re.1:6, Lk.1:47 below).
Re.1:6And hath made us kings and priests unto God (Jn.1:1 above) AND his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Lk.1:47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour (Jn.1:14, Jn.1:1, Re.1:6 above).
Lk.1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Matt.3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son (Matt.1:20 below), in whom I am well pleased.
Matt.1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost (Jn.1:14, Matt.3:17 above).
