The thread you are trying to derail belongs to Mr Gerkoff (it's his intro thread).

I can't prove that he was even ALIVE in the first place let alone dead. You also can't PROVE that he was alive. There are many stories and many cultures have documents and so I believe he was was alive, but once again, there is no actual evidence.

There are accounts by historians who were Jesus' contemporaries and unbiased ones at that. Josephus is a good example of such a historian - he was a Roman citizen and his accounts are available and have been proven valid. He wrote about Jesus' birth and life and also recorded events surrounding His resurrection. I am not sure that he was a believer himself but he did record events accurately as a historian employed by the Roman government. Look him up: Josephus Flavius.

You went on to say:

. . . “.You are not paying attention, the qoute you pick has was about and article Irinka posteed and not Josephus..”

As you can see, Mr Grekoff's claim about non-existence of the historical Jesus was being refuted with a reference to Josephus. Your view that there was no Resurrection and that The Church sort of congealed from the corpse of Roman paganism over a couple of centuries together with your other view that it is not possible to date that historical event (even though you don't believe it occurred at all) means that Josephus' work is at exactly the time your theory would require.

Now the next bit will be too complicated for you (Mr Freddie) so I'll keep it to words of one syllable:
