But these very points were more substantially addressed in the links Solon provided... and notice the Suetonius reference -implying Christ as a title among Jewish cults, claimed by different people.

Anyhow, I must go - for now...

These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus

So the TRUE history of Jesus is that he was "born the (according to some interpretations, illegitimate) son of a man called Panther, Jesus (Hebrew: Yeshu) worked magic, ridiculed the wise, seduced and stirred up the people, gathered five disciples about him, and was hanged (crucified) on the eve of the Passover. The Toledot Yeshu (“Life of Jesus”), an embellished collection of such assertions, circulated among Jews during the Middle Ages in several versions."

Funny, I thought there were more disciples, but the name "Panther" rings a loud bell. Hmmm.
