I have read the complete works of Josephus, and I assure you, that is not "what he said". You don't seem to have read anything historical-- why dont you go read some History and then get back to us

What more did he have to say about Christ than the following?
"Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named for him, are not extinct at this day."
I've not found more. In all his recorded works that I'm aware of, this short paragraph is about it. Not a ringing endorsement.
And then there's the debate among scholars over whether that paragraph is authentic, or jsut tacked in later by Christian scribes. Since this discussion has included those who argue that Caesar 's works may be forgeries... then so too must Josephus's works be considered possible forgeries.
