luckyme makes a post where his whole point is basically "when you tell me X historian (or scholar) says jesus existed, i don't know that the historian means the same thing by "jesus" that you do."

and your respose to that is


Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tacitus a Roman historian who lived at the time of Christ was no Christian...yet he mentions him in his histories...So he most definitely lived...

it's like you're pretending that luckyme made an entirely different post than the one he wrote

Sephus,

I can’t find who made this quote: “Tacitus a Roman historian who lived at the time of Christ was no Christian...yet he mentions him in his histories...So he most definitely lived...”

But it is incorrect. Tacitus lived well after Jesus’s death. No historian that was a contemporary of Jesus, such as Seneca or Philo ( who lived and wrote in Judea during Jesus’s lifetime ), made any mention of him at all. Jesus was a complete nobody during his life.
