Make excuses for the failure of the godboy to make any mark on contemporary history. I guess Philo never spoke to his brother or his nephew, Tiberius Julius Alexander, huh? Next you'll be telling me that Philo wasn't circumcised, either although I would demand to know how you know that!
Not making excuses for anything, nor using apologetics. I am just stating the facts as we know them.
Your argument with Philo might work if we actually had a magic man sticking sawed off ears back on people's heads, raising zombies up from the graves, or walking across the water without a drop of water getting on his precious gown.
But against the historical take on Jesus? Your argument doesn't just walk, but runs away from the laughter.
The Romans were pretty good at cataloguing their history. I guess it was present at that time.
This being the case, Hellenized Jews in Judaea, represent just that.
Hellenized Jews in Judaea.
2000 years ago.
The shadows in the cave don't change, it's just our interpretation of them.
