There are zero problems with “faith as a means to truth” when it comes to the reliability and the verifiability of the New Testament events and documents. A great deal of evidence has been cited on these many threads for the events in the New Testament, and for the reliability and the verifiability of the New Testament documents.
Gathering evidence for the New Testament events and documents is what historians do when they investigate ‘any’ set of historical documents or events. And this aspect of historical reliability concerning the New Testament events and documents is unique to Christianity among world religions. But even some Christians tend to ignore the unique verifiability of their belief system and insist that people just take it on “faith” like other religions do.
