To satisfy my curiosity, if the NT could be proven historically accurate would you then choose to follow christianity?
Well, that was the reason for being a Christian before, as well as my subjective experiences that led me to go from a non practising Catholic to a born again believer.
I think it would definitely serve as a proper foundation by which to build upon. It would allow me to examine doctrine knowing that whichever interpretation I believe will be grounded on historical facts.
