Quote:Not surprisingly, none of these "scholarly" critics have presented a shred of evidence to prove what they are saying.
There is not a shred of evidence from any xtian writer prior to the noted 4th century liar, Eusebius, that this passage existed at all. None of your holy horseshitters knew anything about it. Origen, writing 75 years before Eusebius makes specific reference to Book XVIII of Antiquities of the Jews and correctly notes the John the Baptist reference but somehow missed this glorious passage which would have cemented the absurd argument he was trying to make with out it.
As usual, you have your head planted firmly up your ass. Bishop Warburton, who died in 1779 wrote of the testimoniam flavianum that it was "a rank forgery, and a very stupid one, too."
What has happened is that (usually) protestant preachers, embarrassed that their godboy made no dent on the historical record have recently tried to breathe life back into this stinking corpse of forgery that you...and other fools like you....swear by.
