Quote:Josepus was AFTER the the alleged life


Yes, that is true but he was in the prime of his public life - and getting ready to take command of the army of Galilee - during the period of the run up to the revolt.

He discusses the sadducees, the pharisees, and the essenes ( who he numbers at a mere 4,000) but xtians are not even a blip on his radar?
Meanwhile we have these xtian apologists who claim there was a "church" in Jerusalem which was a going concern but does not seem to have been a factor as far as either Josephus or Tacitus are concerned.

Part of the problem with having limited sources is that we are stuck with what they reported and, in the case of Josephus we know that later xtian forgers fucked around with the text in order to try to give their boy a place in history.

They seem to have done a shit job even of that.
