> Josephus' Antiquites recounts the stoning of Jesus' brother James by the High Priest he would serve with in the Jewish Revolt.

The mention of James "brother of the Lord" does not actually refer to him as a biological brother. "Brother of the Lord" is believed to be the tagline/name for James as a priest.

> These are only one generation after Jesus' death.

Not true, the first source was born more than one full life-span later, making it two generations after.

> People who knew Jesus were still alive.

This is also not true. There is no evidence of this.
