the premise that Flavius Josephus couldn't' have written this statement is flawed. Saul of Tarsus(Paul) was also a Pharisee and he called himself an apostle of Christ. Likewise Flavius Josephus writing for the Roman empire after the destruction of the Jewish temple, additionally Flavius Josephus was living under the Roman empire.
It’s not a new revelation to state that Christian festivals were mixed in with pagan ones! Pagan religions were very focussed on fertility- Mistletoe = semen which is why the whole kissing thing came about - I’ve studied this a lot and I’ve never heard about the ‘little suns’ . Good talk though 👏

@@anopinionatedlaymanappears9052 No, it's because 100+ million body bags lay in the wake of your worker's utopia. Only university professors are stupid enough to believe "it just hasn't been tried 'correctly' yet." Marxism is flypaper for idiots.
@@ploughjogger you're citing a statistic from a book written a nazi that includes dead nazi soldiers in that "100 gazillion people killed by Lenin's own hands" statistic. Academics and professors despise Marxism and revolution, always have, idk what world you're living on but its not planet earth mate.
@@YimikinTheCat Are you asserting that the Marxist worker's utopia hasn't killed at least 100 million people? Lenin? Stalin? Mao? Shall I continue? N.B. It looks like the heavy hand of censorship is alert and active on this channel. At least two repies here have been deleted. Wow, Marxists being eager to censor differing viewpoints. I never woulda thunk!
I would quibble over Bethlehem, whatever pagan God may once have been worshipped there it was home to devout Jews by Jesus's day and any pagan vestiges long destroyed. All Israel once was pagan, Bethlehem would have been nothing special. Beyond that, certainly Christmas and other festivals instituted by the proto-Catholic church are pagan in origin, even Bede to chronicler says so.

That old bastard Stalin did ten in.”

So A child's nursery rhyme is your argument against Marxism 🙄
