Where did the Jesus myth come from?

[FallentoReason]

Josephus has no surviving manuscripts.... the earliest is from the 6th century AD... there is not even a single mention of any of Josephus' writings mentioning Jesus until after the 4th century AD..... The claim that Mark was written in 70 AD is false (dam apologists) .....the oldest surving peice of the manuscript is a small fragment from 250 AD........ the earliest fragment of any book of the bible is from the book of John from 125 AD......... The claim that Paul's letter's were written in 50 AD is also false.....the earliest is a small fragment from the 2nd century AD........ The earliest complete manuscript of any of the new testament books is the book of Timothy 350 AD..... every other complete manuscript is also from the 4th century

I think you're getting archaeological finds and the dates of when something could have been penned down confused. I personally believe the Gospels were written around the time that scholars say because Matthew, Mark and Luke at least reference the work of Josephus with the earliest one of his being written around 66 A.D.

The reason why Josephus' passage was quoted in the 4th century onwards is because that's when Eusebus edited Josephus' work. He was the Church's historian at the time. It was bound to happen anyways because it's actually thanks to the Church that those copies of Josephus' work were preserved. The Church had them until the 17th century (I think.. or around that time).
