With pleasure. But not at the moment, I need to do more study into the Historicity of Jesus.
Lots of luck with that.
I've never come across any evidence for the historicity of Jesus. I'm not claiming there was NOT a man called something like Yeshua/Yoshua Yosef in C1st ce Judea,or that he was a wondering rabbi with a band of followers,or that he was executed by the Romans for sedition. I think it's reasonable to say 'might have been' or even 'probably was' but its is not reasonable to make a positive claim. There is no evidence to support such a claim. However,there is little doubt in my mind that the Jesus of the NT is myth.
I hope the nature of any evidence you find is of a higher calibre than the fatuous nonsense about Josephus.
