When Jesus came he had many followers. And if you look at the history
of early Christianity, there were many different groups with radically
different beliefs and understandings of who Jesus was. Mainstream
Christianity comes out of one branch, but even in the Bible itself you
can read about how Paul was the leader of one faction, but there were
others who disagreed with him.
What I would suggest is that one of the non-Pauline branches is a more
accurate reflection of what Jesus actually taught.
