The English word "Christ" is in the Greek text of Josephus???

Eusebius might have known!

But do you?

What do you think? You know Greek? I know a little English.

"Antiquities of the Jews" 18.3.3 "Church History" 11.7.1

Is what you have reproduced above the Greek text of either Josephus or Eusebius, yes or no?

Umm, I didn't ask you which English text you were drawing your quotes of Josephus and Eusebius from. I asked whether the text you quoted was exactly what we'd see if we were looking at the Greek text of Jospehus and Eusebius.

So, your answer is "no, it isn't".

Thanks for clarifying.

Now perhaps you'll show me where in the Greek text of Josephus and Eusebius the English word "Christ" appears and demonstrate that this is so by giving us the Greek text itself, not an English translation of it.

Given that he apparently doesn't grasp the concepts of translation or transliteration nor the difference between Jewish use of "Messiah" as a title/position and Christian use of "Christ" as a title and name, I suspect you are completely wasting your time asking such questions.

You are reasonning is completely warped and illogical.

I do not know Greek.

Again, total nonsense. You appear not to understand English.

I do not know Greek!
Jesus Christ!

I think you mean to say "your reasoning is completely warped and illogical". Assuming this is true, would you please demonstrate how this is so?

And yet you make claims about what is to be found in Greek texts. Hmmm.


What's nonsense? The claim that the English word "Christ" appears in the Greek text of Eusebius and Josephus? Isn't that what I've been getting at?

Yes, I heard you the first time.


So .. you were not claiming that the English word "Christ" appears in the Greek text of Eusebius and Josephus and you are now saying that wouldn't be able to know if it did??
