Jesus Christ was the messenger of God who was appointed amongst the Israelites. He had himself said: "leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:24). His mission was to bring back the Israelites, who had deviated from the Divine path, to the religion of truth.
The Gospel (Injeel) was the scripture that was revealed to Jesus. He had invited the Israelites towards the path of Truth by preaching the Gospel.
Jesus had taught : " 'The time has come,' he said, 'The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!'" (Mark 1:15). "Firstly, the good news must be preached to all people." (Mark 14:9)

You conveinently left out the Annunciation from Gabriel to Mary of the Incarnation of Jesus. That Mary conceived within her Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. That the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.
The attributes you list are human. Jesus Christ, through the mystery of Hypostatic Union was all God and All man. He was like all other humans, while in the flesh, and experienced the same emotions and physical sensations, except being God, He was perfect and without sin.
When you say, "We see, therein, Christ, the man. If we study the accounts from his birth onwards. We cannot arrive at a picture that is different from that of a human being." you are absolutely wrong. You try to make Him what you want by leaving out the parts you don't like. Sorry, it doesn't work.

You have come to the conclusion that Jesus is human. The part that you left out is the:
prophecy of Jesus birth
annunciation of Jesus birth to Elizabeth
The miracles of turning water into wine and healings
People calling Jesus God and Him not denying it.
Jesus prophecying His death and resurrection
the resurrection happening

Jesus was a man like anyone else....except he was spiritually enlightened....he had found divine presence within himself....We has given many people hope and shown them the way...but he is not unique and not the only "son of God" this is where myth comes in.......Religion has perverted the true meaning of what Jesus was all about...Its somewhat tragic but some people can see the truth shining through the myth.

Why do, the prophets and accounts of Jesus Christ in historical records prove you to be a False Prophet?
You are a scoffer, and man of lying toungs, like a serpents bite.

you proved he is 100%
your next step is 20 quotes that he is God / Son of God / etc.

Jesus is a poor fella who walked the earth 2000 odd years back... A few dumbo's included his name and made up a story which turned to a religion and now millions of Dumbo's are believing in the fairy tale !
