I seek the truth of God's love, I do not use the Bible for a history book because it was never intended for that purpose, the scriptures are about God's redemption of humanity and the love He has for His Messiah. It is my opinion that it doesn't take courage to seek out scriptural truth, a humble heart opens up much.Christianity is a purely historical religion you realise. The reason why I would dismiss Mohammad as a liar is because he had isolated 'encounters with god'. That's of no use if you want to prove something. The NT on the other hand is written by so called witnesses (except paul). You even have Jesus performing miracles in public where people could later on testify about what they saw.
I used to believe in the NT like I believed WWI happened. It was well documented and engraved in human history. Turns out the NT returns a negative because no historians had anything to say for or even against Jesus. History tells me he never walked the streets and healed.
