Historians have already dismissed supposed Joseph's comment about Jesus as a forgery, unfortunately, people are not aware of this fact.

Josephus NEVER said anything about the Jesus of the Bible, instead the Roman empire inserted comments into Josephus's writing to make it appear as if he was talking about the Jesus of the Bible. It was an age of religious forgery to prove the existence of Jesus by any means possible, including by fraud, in fact, they called it "pious fraud" and it was deemed as doing the " good work" of the Lord.

Use any good AI like Grok and put in the following question "how do historians know that Josephus's comment about Jesus Christ is a forgery?" Of course, you can ask subsequent questions around that

No need for me to check it out, I am very well aware of this. I was actually assessing your credentials.
Pass mark.
What about Tacitus? See below


musicwriter:
Everything you read about Jesus NEVER happened.

It's work of literature.

Jesus NEVER existed. That's a better reason instead of running around and around.

That is still thoughtless to me.

In many ways, religions do not think about the things that their roots or history imply.

I wonder if he was executed by a snake bite they would be wearing snake pendants.
One of the stories in the Torah features such a scenario but trust them to condemn the Asclepius staff because it doesn't follow their favoured narrative.

Tacitus mentioned a "Christ" which was a title in use before your Jesus.

Many figures (real or imagined) had been called "Christ" before anybody heard of your Jesus, so Tacitus could have been talking about anybody

Not relevant to the discussion . Here it is

Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
who is the "we" and what message did they hear?

LIE.
Show where it says so. When has that prophesy been fulfilled?
it is not a prophecy...it is in the past tense...

common...

isaiah already told you that the servant is Israel see Isaiah 45:1-7. why are you arguing??
Re: Why Is Jesus Not Included In Academic History Books? by sonmvayina(op): 7:35pm On Jan 07
QuinQ:
And you actually believe this. Why did Jews remove that chapter 53 from their Bible?
remove what?
it is about a suffering SERVANT and Isaiah already told you who the servant is...

why are you blind??

You think you're talking to someone with no knowledge of history?

What exactly did Tacitus say? Where's your primary source?

Again, be informed that before your Jesus, Ptolemy 1 Soter called himself "Christ" about 300 BC. So, if Tacitus mentioned a "Christ"; could it be he was talking about Ptolemy Soter?

He didn't mention Jesus by name, rather as "Christus" and said he was executed by Pilate. Notably he was referring to the origin of the term "Christian." He wrote a century after the claimed birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and was talking about the great fire of Rome under Nero and the persecution of Christians.

By the time he was writing, the claims of who was the founder of the Christian sect would have been his reference.

That the said Christus was executed, is not my particular dispute or contest, nor do I say such a character never existed, but for me, it is open to contestation. Certainly, there were many different people with elements of the Jesus story in their lives at the time.

Stop confusing yourself. Jews know who was being referred to - that's why they took that chapter out of their Bible!

Jesus was almost totally unknown except by the few close to him. He was only known in retrospect after Christianity was somewhat established. So it is easy to say anything writen about him didn't refer to him!

Testimonial from all over about what same Jesus is doing - samr Jesus that never existed!
Now you are talking.

sonmvayina just love aimless arguments

Himself, his Jewish landlord and atheist friends were like first century antagonists trying to silence young kids who were saying:

“Blessed is the one coming as the King in Jehovah’s name! Peace in heaven, and glory in the heights above" Luke 19:38

Jesus told them:

“I tell you, if these (children) remained silent, the stones would cry out.” Luke 19:40

Why?

Because Jesus is God's only begotten Son who doesn't need historians to get his messages across the globe! smiley

You are arguing something that is long settled. This was a long-running argument between Jews and Christians - and Christians won because Jews removed the chapter from their Bible!

No one needs to tell those dealing with demonic attacks that Jesus is alive, and that demons tremble at mention of that name! You only have mouth because you're not dealing with any supernatural attacks!

Lol. Who do you think Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Judaists, Taoists, Shintoists, Traditionalists call on when in similar moments of terror, whatever that terror may be, mental or emotional?

Not son in the human sense. How can you have a son without a wife. He's a part of God that has always been with God

Special pleading.
In the Bible, he expressly denies being God over and over again.

Are those referred to as sons of God in the book of Job also sons in the human sense?

Many have made that claim. Olumba Olumba Obu springs to mind. So does Abd Ru Shin.

However I can cite numerous verses where Jesus denied being God.

Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of the one and only true God.

So he totally differs from all other beings!🙂
