Quote:Josephus from AD 93 has two entries, one of which has likely been altered by a Christian scribe (but never proven) and the other indisputable.
Before the bible became an actual book, you have all the letters of Paul from the early to mid 1st century. He was a Jew.
These are just a couple examples that dispute that claim of yours. There are a few more.
It is certainly disputable and all the jesus freak wishful thinking in the world will not change that. There is no indication that Josephus wrote any part of the Testimonium Flavianum nor that it existed in any form prior to Eusebius suddenly trotting it out in the 4th century...which is exactly what I spoke of when I spoke of xtian forgery. The short christ reference is probably a more innocent interpolation.
"Paul" was unknown as late as the writings of Justin c 160 AD.
Before I waste more of my time on you, use the search feature newbie and find out how many times this bullshit of yours has been dismissed.
Don't bother with Pliny and Tacitus and Suetonius and Mara Bar Serapion and Lucian of Samosata or Celsus. We've all been down that road ad nauseam. It never gets any better and you people all have the same sorry act.
