I fail to see the source of your confidence in the idea that Paul was speaking about Jesus of Nazareth.
Gal 4:4-5 says that Jesus was born "in the fullness of time" (when?)
1 Cor 7 does not attribute the advice on spousal abandoment to Jesus, but to "the Lord."
Phil 2: [7]-11 talks about Jesus being equal to God and taking on human form and humbling himself , "and [he] became obedient to death - even death on a cross!" a mystical sounding poem that is hard to tie down to history.
1 Cor 2 "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." Crucified when and where?
How is this clearly about Jesus "of Nazareth"? There is nothing here that indicates Paul is talking about a recently crucified person, or even a person of history at all.
