Amen Harley. When you tell the average person that the Bible is the most reliable (historically) ancient document we have they chuckle to themselves like ignorant fools. I have even had people tell me that Jesus was not a real figure but when you point out that he is mentioned in non-Christian writings of the time you get a blank vague stare. People are willfully ignorant in a lot of cases - when you tell them to check out Josephus or Tacitus they won’t or don’t bother! Archaeological finds continue to reinforce the accuracy of the Bible and have done so as long as people have been looking - so much so that if it were any other document people would check their findings against it and question themselves a second time if they found something in disagreement with it!
The passage about Jesus in Josephus seems to be a later insertion by a Christian copyist. The early Christian apologists who might be expected to cite the Josephus passage don’t. It’s possible the Josephus did briefly mention Jesus, but that a later copyist “improved” on what he said. Tacitus’ passage, on the other hand, is genuine.
