Historical Jesus, Biblical Jesus

[Bucky Ball]

Period.

bla bla bla
Well, if you put a "period on it" that must make it true. 

I have demonstrated here that it is not possible that Josephus wrote the Testimonium.
Period.

Your assumption that Josephus was somehow a legitimate objective historian, has no foundation. He was a renegade Jew, in the employ of the Roman emperor.  
He said Vespasian was, consistent with the Balaam Prophecy, the messiah.
He could not have said in the same book that someone elese was the messiah.

You have demonstrated no such thing. You put up a bunch of assertions and that was it. You can't prove a damn thing.

History is written by the victors. It is what it is, and it is what we got.

Josephus never said the Balaam prophecy was about a Messiah ... at all. And we both know that not only have you failed to demonstrate that with any evidence, but I have cleanly disputed that position with evidence to the point of ridiculing it. And that was cakewalk. 

I provided evidence from Josephus' work, which you were clearly unaware of. 
Josephus said that Vespasian was the messiah, and the same messiah spoken of in the Star of Balaam Prophesy, numerous times in the "Jewish War"
books 4-7. You really ought to read it sometime.

Your attempt to "mainstream" Josephus as an "official and historian" was hilarious, and failed totally. 
He was a renegade Jew, a traitor to Judaism, being paid by Vespasian, living in Rome ... having gained that position by demonstrating that he could imterpret prophesy for Vespasoan's benefit.

Your assertions concerning Tacitus are based on the numbers of believers of the cult. They are based on the FAITH
of the followers. That's the ONLY reason he heard about them, and thus the cult leader. He had no general interest those were crucified in Israel. 

You're entitled to you opinion. 
It's nothing more. 

Your "periods" and your little dancing fools are nothing more that a reflection of your ignorance of the field, and your insecurity.
