No

Do you mean Moses, as in the man who led the Jews out of Egypt? Or do you mean Moses, as in the plural for Mos? I mean, there's Mos Def, Mos Eisley...

Why did others oppose his marrying a "kushite" in Numbers 12:1?

I'd say it's more likely "Moses" is a mythological conglomeration of a few different people and stories put together.

Damn... was hoping this was a Kanye meltdown thread. “New Moses” is out there urinating on Grammys.

Aren’t there Roman accounts of Jesus from before the empire became Catholic?

Josephus made mention of him, but that was well after his supposed crucifixion, and when the myth may have conceivable been created by Christians of the time. 

Not trying to offend anyone by the way, and admittedly it has been quite some time since I've studied the subject matter so there may be more info available. 

EDIT - There were definitely quite a few people like Jesus back in the day. Messianic prophets wandering around, accruing followers, and trying to subvert the Roman rule of their land. It makes sense to me that folks would have come up with an amalgamation of the prophets and complied the mythology.

No I’m not offended or anything, I just don’t think you can lump the two together since there is evidence of Jesus existing. Not 100% conclusive, he still may have been a myth, but there’s a good chance he really did exist and was crucified by the Romans. I agree that Moses almost certainly was fictional though. 

Sort of on this subject, this is a video I found interesting breaking down the Kings of Israel:

He notes which ones are mythical and which ones are historical. He actually has a few videos like this regarding biblical characters, and is releasing one on Christmas breaking down Jesus’ family tree, which should be interesting. 
 

Also learned on this channel that former president Jimmy Carter is related to Berry Gordy, one of the dudes from LMFAO, and (through marriage) Beyoncé. The more you know lol.
