Where did you get your data? Anyway, i was only calling his attention to the fact that those who wrote the quran must have read some Bible's books, to consider the inclusion of the Bible's "great" prophets.
The quran is mostly a copy of gnostic christian write ups like the gospel of barnabas and thomas..

When you think back you gotta also think forth too....when you know how to think both ways then you would realize when I put that out in the first place.

Oga, the reference i gave to you is not the one with a wide spread doubt by scholars. the source you gave said:

"Modern scholarship has [size=15]largely[/size] acknowledged
the authenticity of the reference in Book 20,
Chapter 9, 1 of the Antiquities to "the brother
of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name
was James" [12] and considers it as having
the highest level of authenticity"

Jospehus testimonium flavium is a christian forgery
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus

Ultraviolet photo of a critical word from the earliest known extant manuscript of Tacitus ( second Medicean ,
Laurentian library, Italy).
The photograph reveals that the word purportedly used by Tacitus in Annals 15.44, chrestianos ("the good"wink ,
has been overwritten as christianos ("the Christians"wink by a later hand, a deceit which explains the excessive
space between the letters and the exaggerated "dot" (dash) above the new "i". The entire "torched Christians"
passage of Tacitus is not only fake, it has been repeatedly "worked over" by fraudsters to improve its value as
evidence for the Jesus myth.


A jesus may have existed in the roman isreali outpost but those supernatural yarns in the story are all myths from other older mythologies...smiley

1. I didnt mention testimonium flavius, I rather mentioned Antiquities. So sir, what is wrong with that writeup?

2. I had another source I presented as a proof. Sir, it is good to follow the truth as history shows.

3. What you presented above is no proof. Read this:

"It has
been stated that both the terms Christians and
Chrestians had at times been used by the
general population in Rome to refer to early
Christians.
[22] The term Christians appears only three
times in the New Testament , the first usage
( Acts 11:26 ) giving the origin of the term. [20]
In all three cases the uncorrected Codex
Sinaiticus in Greek reads Chrestianoi .[20][22]
In Phrygia a number of funerary stone
inscriptions use the term Chrestians, with one
stone inscription using both terms together,
reading: " Chrestians for Christians ". [22]
Adolf von Harnack argued that Chrestians was
the original wording, and that Tacitus
deliberately used Christus immediately after it
to show his own superior knowledge compared
to the population at large. [20] Robert Renehan
has stated that it was natural for a Roman to
mix the two words that sounded the same,
that Chrestianos was the original word in the
Annals and not an error by a scribe. [23][24]
Van Voorst has stated that it was unlikely for
Tacitus himself to refer to Christians as
Chrestianos i.e. "useful ones" given that he
also referred to them as "hated for their
shameful acts".
[19] Paul Eddy sees no major
impact on the authenticity of the passage or
its meaning regardless of the use of either
term by Tacitus."
