there were still living in Josephus’s day probably hundreds of eyewitnesses to the resurrected Jesus

Read your Bible again

Are you aware of the Historical events by which Josephus became a Roman certifierd Historian since he was previously an ascetic Jew?

I am unaware of any certification process for becoming a RCS (Roman Certified Historian). I am looking at my copy of Josephus The Jewish War as I type. He was born a Jew and died a Jew as best I can tell.

Read my Bible again? Are you serious or just seriously demented. Josephus survived the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, was born~37 AD and lived beyond 100 AD. Jesus was crucified in 30 or 33 AD.

Paul was converted ~ the time Josephus was born. The books/letters of the New Testament were all completed prior to 97 AD and many of the people who were in the 'more than 500' whom Paul spoke of as eyewitnesses still alive when he was writing his letters were still alive when Jerusalem was razed in 70 AD.

Read my Bible? Sparky, you might want to read A Bible! Wouldn't hurt you to read a few histories of the New Testament times, too.

You pretend pretty well, but you are in the final analysis merely a poser, pretending to have depth of study and understanding that you haven't put the work into to actual possess.

So did Jesus—born a Jew, died a Jew, resurrected and coming again, a saviour.
