Anyone have that list of contemporary Roman documents from Judea Ad 30-40?
that fail to mention Jesus?
Oh no, that's right, THERE AREN'T ANY!!
Lying for atheism is still lying.
Ah mithra the myth man. So can you name just one Roman document from Judea at that time then if there are so many?
Elmer: So there are none full stop. You are correct. So it's a bit stupid saying none mention Jesus when there are none at all. Very stupid.
Josephus was not even born when Christ was crucified and mentions Christ in two passages. Although the main passage MAY have been doctored, it still exists in it's untainted form in ther Persic manuscript.
Also the criterion of Roman documents is not met in this flawed example.
When was Musonius in Judea?
Emperor Tiberius - why would he be writing about seemingly insignificant events in a backwater of the Empire?
Attalus - Roman? Judean - No? Historian? No? Contemporary to Jesus? No. Quadruple fail.
Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 of the Antiquities in addition to the "disputed text" of book 18.

There were thousands of documents of the time. There were hundreds of writers in the area. None of them ever heard of Jesus.
At one point Josephus lived in Japhia, ONE MILE from Nazareth, yet he never mentions the town, nor Jesus (there is a forged paragraph, and a mention to different men named Jesus).
Emperor Tiberius was, of course, contemporary with "Jesus" and his orations were all recorded. Why had he never heard of Jesus? The "trial" by Pilate would have been dutifully recorded; why is there nothing of it in the records? Why nothing of killing all firstborn?
Attalus was Greek stoic philosopher, orator, and writer during Augustus and Tiberius. None of his writings ever mention Jesus. Yet Jesus' fame went "to the ends of the world" the Bible says.
Musonius was a contemporary of Jesus, born c. 14 CE living until at least 79 CE His writings survive to this day. Why didn't Musonius mention anything of Jesus?
Just south of Judea the volumes "summikton historikon hupomnematon logoi" were written, just after Jesus' time. Nowhere are Christians or Jesus mentioned in its 33 books.
Josephus did NOT mention "Christ in two passages." READ HIS WORK. He's talking about Jesus son of Damneus in one spot, and the other paragraph is a proven forgery.
Why the criterion that the documents must come from Judea? Jesus' words went "unto the ends of the whole world" - Romans 10:18.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Do your research before making such claims. You have failed completely.

Velum and parchment were expensive - the Romans didn't waste it writing about religious rabble rousers.

1Cor.14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
