If it so convincing then your brother should be considering a conversion to Judaism, IMO. This says nothing about the truthfulness of the NT.

But it is far more unlikely that a loving God would withhold evidence from some people who would accept it if they were aware of it. For instance, if a God exists, he could easily show up and prove that intelligent design exists, but he refuses to do so, with no possible benefits for himself or for anyone else.

If you can convince your brother to visit the General Religious Discussions Forum, I would like to have some discussions with him.
