This paper is a response to Korede a Christian apologist whos been Showing bogus historical evidence on the alleged crucifixion!
He's quotes 3 historians or 2 for the sake of academic arguments
But what's funny about he's post is that NONE WITNESSED THE ALLEGED CRUCIFIXION...
Let's examine he's claim!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korede tells us Josephus (bin Matthias), wrote about the trial of Jesus in the presence of the council of Sanhedrin??
If that's the case where is your documented evidence?
In the nineteenth century an eminent scholar, Rabbi Wise, searched the records of Pilate’s court, still extant, for evidence of this trial. He found nothing. (Lloyd Graham, Deceptions and Myths of the Bible, p. 343)
Bear in mind all the historians Korede mentioned were born decades after the alleged crucifixtion, NOT A SINGLE WERE PRESENT WATCHING IT HAPPEN.
Josephus (bin Matthias) wrote a two volume BIOGRAPHY on the life of King Herod funny he never mentioned Herod ordering the massacre of children's like Matthew wrote in he's book matthew 2:16, Josephus and philos writing about Jesus was forged..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a list of historians who existed during the first century, where are there writings about Jesus?
Apollonius Persius Appian Petronius
Arrian Phaedrus Aulus Gellius Philo-Judaeus
Columella Phlegon Damis Pliny the Elder
Dio Chrysostom Pliny the Younger Dion Pruseus Plutarch
Epictetus Pompon Mela Favorinus Ptolemy
Florus Lucius Quintilian Hermogones Quintius Curtius
Josephus Seneca Justus of Tiberius Silius Italicus
Juvenal Statius Lucanus Suetonius
Lucian Tacitus Lysias Theon of Smyran
Martial Valerius Flaccus Paterculus Valerius Maximus
Pausanias
According to Remsburg,
“Enough of the writings of the authors named in the foregoing list remains to form a library. Yet in this mass of Jewish and Pagan literature, aside from two forged passages in the works of a Jewish author, and two disputed passages in the works of Roman writers, there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ.”
Nor, we may add, do any of these authors make note of the disciples or apostles; increasing the embarrassment from the silence of history concerning the foundation of Christianity. In other words, the only information of the life of Jesus comes from Christian believers.
There is no verification of a significant crucifixion in the writings of historians such as Philo, Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, Epictectus, Cluvius Rufus, Quintus, Curtis Rufus, Josephus, nor the Roman Consul, Publius Petronius. The crucifixion also was unknown to early Christians until as late as the Second Century.

All the
people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him
to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off
the cliff. But he
walked right through the crowd and went on his way. (Luke 4:28-30)
-------------------
Notice how the people drove
Jesus out the town, took him “brow” (edge) of the hill to throw him down and “JESUS
WALKED RIGHT THROUGH THEM”
Wait a tick!
JESUS WALKED RIGHT
THROUGH THEM AND THEY DID NOT NOTICE? What exactly happened to them, that they didn’t
notice the man they “TOOK UP THE HILL TO KILL WALK RIGHT THROUGH THEM?”
If Jesus can walk
through a crowed of People who tried to kill him, what makes you think he couldn’t
escape the Jews and Romans who tried to crucify him?
Think about it, those
people who took him up the hill must have been “bedazzled” thinking they got Jesus in their hands and about to kill him, yet miraculously he escapes a crowd
of people!
So when we say Jesus
was not crucified, we have good reason to believe he escaped such an episode leaving
people think they got him.
