Acts 5:34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
I love that the statement of a Pharisee speaks truth to the evidence for the reliability of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Had Jesus not been God and done the things that He did His disciples would have fallen away. Just like the ones of all the other false prophets. But the opposite happened. That is the same truth and proof that we have today that supports the Gospel. History and creation are full of evidence for the Gospel. I can't help but believe that Gamaliel became a Christian.
