It is a position held by some Gnostics in the first to third century, as well as some modern Mandaeans, Muslims, and many Japanese Christians.''

It would need to be an extraordinary stroke of luck to have an identical twin available that they managed to keep hidden for 33 years so that he could be used for a con job for 40 days and then disappear again. How they arranged for the OT Jews to foretell these events that they micro managed is so cleverly would also have to be a fluke more amazing than any miracle. Paul must have been in on it.
(Acts 17:2, 3) So according to Paul’s custom he went inside to them, and for three sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,  explaining and proving by references that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, saying: “This is the Christ, this Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you.”
