Josephus Flavius was born in Jeruslem DURING the time
that jesus lived. THERE ARE RECORDS of his life----he
authored a very real and very important book of HISTORY
I do not INVENT-----he may have been very young----but he was still around when Jesus was around during the time
you just invented "RIOTS" between Pharisees and
the POPULATION OF JERUSALEM-----gee---you are actually completely ignorant about the period of time about which you post with confidence-------the BOBOV taught you? (I always thought that were a bit scattered in their
thinking)
No, Josephus flavius was born 37 ce, several years after Jesus was crucified, and although Christianity was beginning to spread in asia minor and the rest of the roman empire, by the time josephus could write, in Jerusalem, Jesus was believed to be as irrelevant as any other failed messiah especially to Joesephus since he claimed the Jewish messianic prophecies that initiated the first Jewish roman war that he fought in showing that he expected a warrior Messiah, not a love your enemy and forgive them messiah who drank too much and insulted the religious authorities who were held in the highest esteem as dedicated holy men...
And no, the riots consisted of people who wanted to stone Jesus and his followers almost every time he opened his mouth as well as the many zealots who were hoping that Jesus was the messiah who would give the command for an armed rebellion and were already opposed to Temple corruption and collusion with Rome.
And Yes, I learned many invaluable things from the Bobov, but nothing about Jesus except the standard mamzer magician garbage.
You may perceive them to be scattered in their thinking but they have a lot more kindness and respect for others created in the image and likeness of God than whoever taught you.
