  1. The video is misleading. Josephus was a Jew. He was not alive when Jesus allegedly lived. He was not born until 37 CE. He never actually wrote about Jesus. His famous "Testimonium Flavianum" (the only substantive mention of Christ) was added much later by Christian scribes, scholars (outside hard-core Fundies) have reached a broad consensus about. Josephus did not believe in Jesus. He would not have claimed Jesus was more than a man. Tacitus and the other Romans mentioned in the video, wrote about Jesus in the 2nd century, which proves Christians existed, but not that Jesus existed. The video never mentions the fact we don't have one single Roman (or Greek, for that matter) who wrote about Jesus during his alleged lifetime, nor during the entire first century. I'll concede it is possible there was a man named Jesus who was crucified, but that is not who the new testament writes about. Paul is the first to write about Jesus, and Paul says he never met a flesh and blood Jesus, that dead Jesus kept speaking to him and Paul writes this alone is the basis of his teachings, not the apostles. Paul had recurring visions of heaven. This is the foundation of Christianity.

  2. The bible is fiction from the talking snake to the unicorns, dragons, giants, talking donkeys and flying chariots it presents as real - all the way to the flying horse the bible promises will bring Jesus back some unspecified day.

By the way, the bible vows that Jesus will return to planet earth someday on a flying horse (white, of course, the color of good magic & mythical Pegasus). So much for the bible being historical about Jesus.

  6.  @stefanpopescu4914  Sorry to tell you the entire new testament is a work of fiction. You have been duped. Research it yourself.

  7.  @stefanpopescu4914  "Luke" was the fake name added to the top of the anonymous gospel at the dawn of the 3rd century. PS you are wrong about Josephus. He never mentioned "Jesus." Do your homework.

  8.  @stefanpopescu4914  you have a Sunday school level of thinking about the new testament. It is pious fiction from the beginning to the promise Jesus will return on a flying horse.

  9.  @stefanpopescu4914  Wow, do you have a huge ego for someone who keeps making mistakes. Find the citation where Josephus mentions the name "Jesus" outside the interpolation. You cannot do it. It is not there. You are wrong. Otherwise, give me the citation.

  10.  @stefanpopescu4914  You are spewing nonsense. James was an interpolation, too. There is no evidence James or Jesus actually ever existed. But the writings of Josephus became the sole property of the church for centuries after he died. Nobody else wanted his work since he was a terrible historian who often made up things to please whoever he was working for at the time. He betrayed his own people and served the Roman empire out of greed. The church had ample opportunity to add whatever they wanted to add. Josephus is useless as a historian.
