Question

on their side of the story?ie the ones who took Him to Herod and so forth. Herods Papers? Roman??? Are their any other mentions at all in old scrolls or whatever the heck that stuff is called?

Answer 1

Try Josephus Flavius...... antiquities of the Jews.

Written contemporarily with Jesus's time... roughly 45-70 C.E.

Josephus was a 'freed Jew' who attained Roman citizenship eventually. The books (three I believe) were written so his Roman compatriots might better understand the Jews and the differences of both fiath and belief.

Answer 2

Flavius Josephus, For centuries Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are an invaluable eye-witness to a momentous turning point in Judaism, Christianity, and Western civilization.

look up Flavius Josephus theres a lot of good articles.
Josephus was a priest, a soldier, and a scholar. Josephus subsequently improved his language skills and undertook a massive work in Greek explaining the history of the Jews to the general non-Jewish audience. He emphasized that the Jewish culture and Bible were older than any other then existing, hence called his work the Jewish Antiquities. Approximately half the work is a rephrasing of the Hebrew Bible, while much of the rest draws on previous historians. This work was published in 93 or 94 CE, when he was about 56 years old.

Josephus wrote at least two smaller books, including his autobiography, in which he recounts his life from birth until the writing of the Antiquities. The year he died is unknown.

Answer 3

Yes! These stories come from the Dead Sea Scrolls and have been translated down through the centuries. But the Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as being any more than a great teacher. You can find books on Judaism in most good book stores.

Answer 4

The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the accuracy of the OT.There are 456 prophesies from the OT that Jesus fulfilled. The fact that Herod has ordered all babies killed after the 'star' in the sky appeared is proof he thought him to be the One spoken of in the OT.

Answer 5

A story about a man named Yeshu can be found in the Talmud. There is debate whether this Yeshu in the Talmud is the same Jesus who later became a Christian divinity.

Answer 6

The Jews mention a messiah, then Jesus claimed to be the messiah and the Jews said "no"

If you are looking on the writings that prove it, this is a short read:

Answer 7

Sure - there are numerous references to Jesus in the Talmud - just do a Yahoo search on "Jesus in the Talmud."

Answer 8

There is much dispute among scholars of various theological persuasions as to the exact messianic content of the Old Testament. Some claim persuasively that much of the prophecies of Jesus Christ have been read into the Old Testament rather than out of it; that this interpretation was never intended by the prophets who wrote them. Others agree, but add that the Holy Spirit intended a second, more spiritual meaning that transcended the awareness of the prophet who first composed the words. The first group criticizes this as reducing Holy Scripture to some form of ‘automatic writing’ such as was popular in various self-improvement cults around the time of the Second World War. The second group responds by citing the usage of the Old Testament in New Testament citations. And in this manner the scholars go round and round, not reaching a persuasive consensus for those who stand outside the dispute.

I contend that we do not need to probe the minds and intentions of the Hebrew prophets, nor does our interpretation of passages like these hinge upon our understanding of the inspiration of Holy Scripture. The reason is that all of Christianity is predicated in some way or the other on the man Jesus Christ, and whatever we may say about Hebrew prophets or the dynamics of inspiration, one thing remains indisputably clear: Jesus believed that the entire Old Testament (or ‘the Law and the Prophets’ as it was designated by first-century Jews) pointed to Him, prophesied about Him, and was to be fulfilled by Him. To Jesus, the entire Old Testament was nothing more or less than a personal letter written by His Father and addressed to Him for the benefit of all.

Therefore it is valid for Christians to seek enlightenment about Jesus in Old Testament passages like this, because we know that Jesus consciously took these prophecies as the model for His life and ministry.

Today, if a man is on trial for his life, the attorneys in the case may seek expert testimony on the man’s inner thoughts and personality based on an analysis of his favorite song, his television viewing habits, and the books he read. If a man is accused of terrorism, we will draw differing conclusions about him, depending on whether we find his bedroom strewn with the works of Dr. Seuss or Abbie Hoffmann. No defense attorney will object on the grounds that neither Seuss nor Hoffmann had the defendant in mind when he wrote the book!

Jesus was on trial for His life and the charge was blasphemy, that is, claiming to be God’s Son. No expert witness rose to speak about His favorite books, the one that influenced His life and guided every step of His ministry, but the evidence remains and is bound between the covers of your Bible. It’s there for you to read yourself. Jesus was greatly influenced by the statements in the Old Testament that we call ‘messianic.’ He felt they spoke of Him. He lived His life accordingly. If you wish to understand His personality intimately, to be acquainted with His motives for everything He did, it’s all there for you to read.
