I’m not so sure..
Al Jews claim to be the son of god and refer to him as “father”.
That wouldn’t be a hard “mistake to make”..
Jesus could have meant the normal “child of god way” and later retelling added an extra meaning to that.

What i do get a kick out of is when "christians" say things like the above poster... Lol
Bart Ehrman was a pastor, and is one of the best NT scholars on the planet
The man was a straight up fundamentalist preacher... Even believed the bible had no errors at one point... But he knows nothing about Jesus right
LMAO.... Hilarious
he probably just wanted some attention.

Actually what we are disputing is specifically an account of the temple being raided by Josephus. Right??
So obviously that would be evidence huh??
The Jews were in constant rebellion during that period. So I don’t see why it would be shocking if pilot did raid the temple...

Philo’s assessment of Pilate’s governorship, spoken after he had been removed from office.
“corruption, and his acts of insolence, and his rapine, and his habit of insulting people, and his cruelty, and his continual murders of people untried and uncondemned, and his never ending, and gratuitous, and most grievous inhumanity.” (Flaccus, 83)
definitely not a direct claim of raiding a temple but... ye know?

Easy to find too...

Ehrman just mix up between procurator Gessius Florus and Pontius Pilate. Philo didn't mentioned temple raid in Flaccus. It was taken from Josephus's The Antiquities of the Jews. Lol.
