More afraid of Jesus than of a whole army

[rockytopva]

Valleus says that in Judea he met a man called Jesus of Nazareth, who was one of the most remarkable characters he had ever seen; that he was more afraid of Jesus than of a whole army, for he cured all manner of diseases and raised the dead, and when he cursed the orchards or fruit-trees for their barrenness, they instantly withered to their roots, After referring to the wonderful work of Jesus, he says that, although Jesus had such power, he did not use it to injure any one, but seemed always inclined to help the poor. Valleus says the Jews were divided in their opinion of him., the poorer class claiming him as their king and their deliverer from Roman authority, and that if Jesus should raise an army and give it the power he could sweep the world in a single day; but the rich Jews hated and cursed 'him behind him back, and called him an Egyptian necromancer, though they were as afraid of him as of death. - Valleus Paterculus, B. 72, found in the Vatican at Rome

Hoax. Fake news. Sorry.

Valleus Paterculus was genuine, this story is not.

Do your research and use some discernment, folks.

Historian Discovers Eyewitness Account of Jesus Performing a Miracle.

Did a historian really uncover an eyewitness account of Jesus' performing a miracle?

This reminds me of my time in the JFK conspiracy community, as described in my blog. Some completely false factoid gets repeated in 50 books and 100 articles and 1000 internet sites and becomes Conspiracy Gospel.

Well, Ron Wyatt died in 1999 and the Blood of Jesus thing doesn't even make the Wikipedia article about his assorted wild claims, so I'm guessing it was either ketchup or Tabasco,

I'd appreciate serious responses to this inquiry. I'm surprised at the degrading humor considering the issue.

Hoax (blood) - although I'd love for it to be true. Why haven't CBN and other Christian media reported on it?

Wyatt passed in 1999. He was the inspiration behind the Indiana Jones movie character.

Skeptics have claimed there is no way 2000 year old blood could be typed and tested.

If we're talking about the son of God, we're talking about anything is possible.

Possible, but not probable.
