Jesus would have been given a full biography by Josephus if he had extensive political relations. This is shown by the example of John the Baptist who would have been passed over if it wasn't for the incidental comment about the people blaming the loss over his death.


No. I said it doesn't bring any evidence for the mythicist case. That doesn't mean it brings weight for historicity.



It's your opinion that everything in Josephus relating to Jesus is a forgery, and it doesn't matter how much Josephus mentions about Jesus/James because of Josephus' politically inclined themes.

This is just total speculation. Josephus wrote about Jesus the son of Ananus who was beaten to a pulp and called a mad-man just for saying Woe unto Jerusalem.

What political relations did Josephus need to write that Jesus of the NT WAS CRUCIFIED for blasphemy.

You almost made sense.



Lack of historical information is the foundation of the mythical case. Lack of historical information is like a SLEDGE-HAMMER to the HJ case.



Please tell how much times Josephus mentioned James and the brother called Jesus?

One time? Tell me more!

The Church backtracked and claimed James had no brother called Jesus 1500 years ago.
