I do not think it's "moving the goal posts" to answer this by saying if Jesus was someone fathered by God of a virgin, then no, there was no such person.  
If Jesus was a regular person whose sayings and actions are detailed in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John then yes, he was very likely a real historical figure.[/quote]
[b]Jesus nevertheless said his mother was a Virgin [/b]
I see influences of Hinduism and eastern religion in his teaching [/quote]

I thought it was Matthew and Luke who claimed this? And how could they possibly know?

As far as Hinduism influencing Jesus' teachings, yeah please elaborate.  There are far more differences than similarities.[/quote]

Exactly. Jesus never said his mother was a virgin. The person who said Jesus was born of a virgin is whoever wrote Matthew, which was written approximately 70 years after Jesus died. Later on, it was mentioned in Luke. [/quote]
