> "When we remove Christian interpolation from the "Jamesian" reference in Josephus, it becomes clear that James was the brother, not of a non-existent 'Jesus Christ', but of Jesus bar Damneus, high priest briefly in the year 63."-Tony: If you are agnostic, why is it so important to you that Jesus was real. What the NT teaches are marvelous rules to live by. To me that is the important part.
