Ehrman accepts both references by Josephus as valid; so fail.
Quote:Again, this is not accepted by historians. You’ll believe anything won’t you?Actually, last I checked, historians and even theologians were deeply divided over the TF and there is plenty of room in scholarship for those who believe it to be a complete forgery. Most scholars see the document as at least being contaminated by interpolations.
