Question
Why is is that so many people never bother to read the writings of Josephus or Tassus, the 1st century historians, One who was a Pagan, another who was a Jew, or the writing from Jewish history in the first century that Rabbi Gamaliel was in fact the best know teacher of The Torah, whose student St. Paul was instructed under.

I think it is the lies of Satan, and ignorance or indifference, about the historical fact that Jesus Christ was put to death under Pontius Pilate- his rule is also confirmed by pagan historians.

This non Christian testimony confirms that the Qu'Ran is historically inaccurate......

Maybe History, and Non Christian testimony will help those deny even the Historical accuracy(and Divine inspiration) of the New Testament.

Answer
Dear Kevin,

I agree that there are non-christian sources confirming some verses of the Gospels.
Anyway to accept the truth of Jesus as Son of God, is something requiring a deep inner conversion.

I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of  God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments  in the following site

http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html

where  I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics  prove that the   brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies  the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you  can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of  the  typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to  visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.

I hope this may help,

please ask again if you should need some clarifications,

Your brother in Christ,

Marco
