JESUS CHRIST: Myth or Historical Person?

[Alter2Ego]

And much to nobody's surprise, these "many people" who consider Josephus' work on Jesus Christ to be counterfeit are merely speculating. They don't have a shred of evidence to prove what they are saying.

Tell me, since when did speculations equate to evidence?

Whatever Josephus has to say about Jesus is hearsay as he was not born until AFTER Jesus supposedly died. So, it's rather irrelevant whether or not Josephus actually wrote the passages regarding Jesus.

ALTER2EGO -to- THOR:
Next you will be arguing that 20th and 21st century historians who wrote about the founding fathers of the USA were their contemporaries. A historian doesn't have to be alive at the same time as the person about whom he/she is reporting. All that's required of an expert historian is access to credible documentation.

Flavius Josephus was a Jewish Pharisee as well as advisor to the Roman Emperor. Both positions gave him access to credible government records from both the Jewish ruling class (the powerful Pharisees who caused Jesus Christ's death) and the Roman ruling class.

I clearly demonstrated Josephus' prominence in my opening post in which I gave highlights about him. I suggest you go back and read it. I believe forum rules say we are not supposed to double-post the same thing.
