Isnt God kind of childish/egotistical?

Really? WOW!

Which ones? Considered authentic by whom? I've never heard of any.

I wasn't aware Josephus was accepted as a prime source by any reputable scholars.


However, I stand ready to be corrected. Perhaps you might also like to explain what these authentic quotes infer?

A simple wikipedia search would of helped.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus

It's 'would have',and I'm asking you because I'm unaware of any such quotes. I was aware of the quotes in the Wiki article. They are not widely accepted. One is generally considered a forgery,the other as dubious by many reputable scholars.

It's also worth noting that the Catholics have always denied that Jesus had ANY siblings.The claim that most scholars accept the authenticity of Josephus on these matters is simply untrue.

Seeing as you like Wikipedia :

Saint James the Just (Hebrew: יעקב) (Greek Iάκωβος), (died AD 62), also known as James the Righteous, James of Jerusalem, James Adelphotheos, or James, the Brother of the Lord, was an important figure in Early Christianity. The Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that, based on Hegesippus's account, it is "probable" that James the Just is also James the Less, and in line with "most Catholic interpreters", that he is therefore James, son of Alphaeus as well as James the son of Mary.[1]. He is not, however, identified with James the Great.[1] James the Just was the leader of the Christian movement in Jerusalem in the decades after Jesus' death, but information about his life is scarce and ambiguous. Several early sources described him as the brother of Jesus; historians have variously interpreted this description as perhaps meaning a brother in a spiritual sense, or more literally as meaning that James was a close family relative of Jesus'- perhaps his full brother, half- or stepbrother, a cousin, or some other relation. The oldest surviving Christian liturgy, the Liturgy of St James, called him "the brother of God" (Adelphotheos).[2]
