“Titus Flavius Josephus (37 – c. 100), was a 1st-century Romano-Jewish historian and hagiographer of priestly and royal ancestry who recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the 1st century AD and the First Jewish–Roman War, which resulted in the Destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in 70.”
Nope. Typical crap. Josephus was a client of the Roman Emperor. His book was an attempt to PROVE Vespasian was the messiah. Are you SURE you want to quote that. There are two references. Chapter 18 is a known forgery. Chapter 20 refers to a James, and is equivocal. Fail.
“Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works—a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.”
The oldest copy of that text is in the Museum in Milan. I've seen it. That ONE passage does not fit ith the text above it, and below it. Different handwriting. Different ink. Scholars KNOW it's an "interpolation". (A forgery by Christian monks). Josephus would have NEVER written any such thing, as it defeats the entire purpose of the book it's in. Please grow a brain. I see you're a rank beginner here.
Tacitus
Cornelius Tacitus was a Roman Historian who lived from 55-120AD. Despite the fact the clearly despised Christianity as a “mischievous superstition”, Tacitus no less confirms once again the existence of Jesus and His crucifixion on the cross, it also states Pontius Pilate as the procurator who oversaw the crucifixion again giving non-Biblical proof of Jesus’ existence as recorded in the Bible.
No. He references a Crestus, while still spelling "Christians" correctly. Proves nothing.
Bucky.. forget it theres no hope
