Wow.

Others have pointed out the biblical and historical flaws of your statement. My question is, did you read this somewhere or come up with all this yourself?

No, actually, I haven't seen anyone really point out flaws in my observations, because my observations are very simple:

1. Historical record suggests that Jesus did indeed live.

2. He traveled around and spoke to the Jews.

3. Many believed he was either the Messiah, or claiming to be.

4. He was killed.

That's the most we can really say. Look at the Bible, there are clues to suggest what its writers were thinking. For instance, his disciples trace his lineage painstakingly. Why? If he was here to save all mankind from sin, it really doesn't matter what his lineage was. It only matters if he was supposedly fulfilling OT prophecy about Israel. So clearly they thought that was what he was doing.
