Nonsense. There is no reason for Jewish historians to "make up" Christ. Even His enemies acknowledge Him. It is rumored that the Talmud speaks ill of Him today. Tacitus mentioned Him, Suetonius mentioned Him, and Phlegon, all mentioned Him, but no doubt, they are all liars

Sigh. Nobody is saying that "Jewish historians" made up Christ. What I'm saying is that a Jewish historian writing two decades after Christ is supposed to have died is hardly likely to be able to "prove" that Christ did live. What Josephus siad, in effect, was, "There are a lot of Christians, and they believe X, Y, Z." Well, I can also write "There are a lot of Hare Krishnas, and they believe X, Y and Z," but that does not mean that X,Y, and Z are in fact true.

How many historians mentioned Mohammad?
