The Age of the Peshitta

Excellent point, Scorpio. Caruso also made several other errors.

Caruso, you are not good at all in writing correct information.

You wrote lots of errors even in your last post.

First, we know Josephus was a Judean (born in Jerusalem). Not Galilean.

Second, he points out the importance of his blood in his autobiography "The Life of Josephus." By his mother, he is related to Hasmonean family. Jewish Priest Josephus also has descended all along from priests.

Third, Aramaic was the dominant language even outside of first century Israel. Like Josephus points out, Greek was an unaccustomed language to Jews in first century AD (Antiquities of Jews Book 1, Preface). Jews knowing Greek were extremely rare (Antiquities of Jews XX XI).

Fourth, the position of Josephus is extremely important aside from being a Jewish Priest. Josephus's Jewish Wars strengthens the prophecy of Jesus Christ about the destruction of Jerusalem which occured in 70 AD. Josephus "historically" testifies the existence of Jesus Christ in his book "Antiquities of Jews 20.9.1."
