Non-Christian historians confirm the events described in the New Testament. Josephus, an Atheist, even witnessed to Jesus' resurrection. What made Christianity grow was the Holy Spirit witnessing to those who followed Jesus' instructions.

There are more than 24,000 partial and complete manuscript copies of the New Testament. These manuscript copies are very ancient and they are available for inspection NOW. there are also some 86,000 quotations from the early church fathers and several thousand lectionaries (church-service books containing Scripture quotations used in the early centuries of Christianity). In fact, there are enough quotations from the early church fathers that even if we did not have a single copy of the Bible, scholars could still reconstruct all but 11 verses of the entire New Testament from material written within 150 to 200 years from the time of Christ. Bottom line: The New Testament has an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting its reliability.

I respectfully disagree.
Romans 15:4 says:
"all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction"
We can benefit, even today, by what is written in the OT.
Better to learn from other people's mistakes, than making our own.
No?

Jesus Christ rose from the dead after he died for our sins and show himself to a multitude of witnesses. That is all the proof that is needed. That is what the whole new testament is based on is that Jesus was in fact the Christ and he conquered death.
