Did Jesus die before he was born?

Yeah. This "Pandera/Panthera/Pantera issue" really intrigues me. Especially because I have found some claims that the story was just invented by Jews to discredit Jesus. A was able to found quite a lot accounts about Pandera, but all of them are quite "new" (150-200 CE). So I would like to ask whether anyone here knows some older reference about him.Also, after reading this thread, I would like to bring your attention to this: This is interesting, because here Paul explains quite clearly what he understands as "being the Son of God" - Jesus was born human and was human and nothing but human through his entire life. Only after he was resurrected, he was "adopted" by Holy Spirit.This makes me think about something... Handsome Lake was inspired by Christian religion, of course, but why I mention this here - he was regarded dead by many people, including his half-brother Cornplanter. So when he recovered, he was regarded as "resurrected".
So - is it possible, that somebody, who is now known as Jesus Christ, was indeed crucified, took from the cross while still alive but regarded as dead and buried in cold cave, where he recovered because he was not actually too seriously injured but merely exhausted by being exposed to sun? In such case, his ministry would start not before, but AFTER his "death".------------------
Life has no meaning but itself.

So another interesting thread was succesfully killed by absolutely useless discussion, which was there many times before. P.S.: That Lake of Fire might be good fun!------------------
