There are a couple references in Josephus. I am no scholar, but in a book called The Case For Christ, these passages are discussed. They are considered significant by modern scholars familiar with textual criticism and ancient documents. I have not looked at the site you posted, but often the rebuttals are very old and out of date (1800s). I think scholarly concesus has moved quite a bit in the last 50 years, but in favor of the historicity of previously doubted texts. I will look at your information later, but my guess is my understanding of your point that there is no historical evidence supporting Jesus (is that what you are saying?) will need revision.

The YES Matrix.... >>Secondly, he refers to Jesus by the religious title "Christos". Roman records would not have referred to Jesus by a Christian title, but presumably by his given name.>> Scott: Try putting on glasses that say YES!! YES to this world! YES to the universe! Any while you at it try proclaiming YES to the existence of universal energy of Love that connects us ALL to each other as ONE. The more you say & believe in YES the more you will discover a reality that leads to roads of light and love that all lead to the discovery of the same ONE truth that resides in the same ONE soul we all possess. BTW, I believe the title "Christos" came from the greeks. And if the greeks had any influence in Roman times perhaps the Romans would have preferred the title the Greeks came up with over one the original Christians in Judea used. Peace. Light! ONE - LOVE! GO!!
