I'm sorry, my dear friends, but you seem not see the my point. There are two lines of inquiry of the Earliest Gospel:
1) the traditional line (of which even the 'radical' view of Joseph is a mere instance) that assumes that Jesus (I mean: in the Earliest Gospel with narrative form) is the son (adopted or natural) of the Jewish god,
2) the radical line, that assumes that the author of the Earliest Gospel hated the Creator-God.
So please don't dispel your attention. Anything you say is just and true, but only under the line 1.
What do you think about the line 2 [that assumes that the author of the Earliest Gospel hated the Creator-God] ?
About that I am interested, sincerely.

... Carl B Smith in No Longer Jews: The Search for Gnostic Origin, 2004, concluded -
that Egypt following the Jewish Revolt under Trajan (115-117 CE) provides a ripe context for Gnosticism's most unique and definitive innovation: rejection of the cosmos and the Creator God of the Jews. [Smith] argue[d] that individuals closely connected with Judaism....may have responded to the rebellion by rejecting the God and religion that inspired this apocalyptic and messianic ferment. "No longer Jews," they were now free to follow a higher God and way of life. https://www.amazon.com/No-Longer-Jews-G ... 0801047706
