If I understand this correctly Josephus, a historian NOT a Bible scholar claims that Dan 12:2 is NOT the word of God. If this is correct how much more of the OT does Josephus claim is not the word of God?

Am I the only one who can see the contradiction here? If some foreign belief, adopted by the Jews, had been obliterated, how does Josephus know about it?

[ . . . ]My initial comments (as I recall, anyway) were geared towards the definition of the words that were presented from a Jewish encyclopedia. And they did not cover the full scope of scholarship on the subject, even though the person posting the entry seemed to want to insist that it did.... being unwilling, also, to consider how some of the things that he was being told about the use of the words and their meanings were also contained within the very text he, himself, posted - though he was arguing against such uses.[ . . . ]
