These alleged xtian scholars get real quiet whenever Origen's Contra Celsus is mentioned.
He specifically names Book XVIII of Antiquities of the Jews and correctly cites the John the Baptist reference from it. However, he specifically denies that Josephus accepted jebus as the messiah and never makes any reference whatsoever to any inkling of the TF in spite of the fact that it would have clinched the point he was trying to make at the time. Instead he goes off on some absurd tangent about how Jerusalem was destroyed because the Jews killed "James the Just" and doesn't mention how they also, just as an aside, killed the fucking son of god, too.
It takes a special kind of xtian asshole to try to salvage Eusebius' obvious forgery.
