Josephus and other contemporaries on Jesus

Apparently, I have the gift of prophecy. 

You have a compelling need to exclaim "its twoo, it;s twoo, it;s twoo" in every possible variation of the phrase....and that means that you'll never actually get around to discussing the mythicist position. That the character of christ found in the NT was constructed specifically as a vehicle for theology.

I wouldn't consider that highly theological (at least not in the way I think you are using it).  But it could be considered a part of systematic theology in the study of the text, and tying common things together.

Because there is some significance to the event doesn't mean that it is a myth (not even close).   The signing of the declaration of the independence had a lot of significance. Do you think that act is a myth?
I find that it is often the significant things that get recorded, although the gospels also contain a lot of little details that may not have a large overall importance.   I had posted a while ago, about a book on un-designed coincidences.  Where insignificant things or things that left a question in one account where explained or made more sense when combined with another.

Are you going to answer the question of "how you know that", or is this just going to be all chest thumping and you proclaiming what you imagine I'll say;   to dodge the question.
