Josephus was an ex-Jew,

He sewed his Bris back on?

the passage mentioning Jesus was inserted much later by someone else.

You know? How do you know?

He worshipped Roman Gods.

Because despite many Christian commentaries on Josephus, not one writer -- Christian or otherwise -- made any reference to Josephus' mentioning of Jesus before the fourth century. That's a rather glaring ommission. The 3rd century Christian scholar Origen, for example, pours over Josephus' text looking for indirect evidence of Jesus -- but fails to mention that paragraph. Ooops! Maybe he wasn't looking hard enough.

Ah Chuck, even most Messianics I know believe Josephus quotes about Jesus are dubious.
