Narrative:

At cruise we had briefed the approach and energy management because we were in an -800. We talked about being configured by ZZZ intersection and treating it like a localizer approach even though it was VMC. First officer was flying and when we passed ZZZ intersection; we received a TA for a helicopter that tower had pointed out earlier. We then received a pull up terrain warning. I said we have to go; just as the first officer raised the pitch the warning stopped. I said continue the approach because we were above glide path and four white on the PAPI and we were on the localizer. We then received an obstacle caution and we were two white over two red. We raised the pitch a bit to three white and one red. Continued and landed. After we debriefed I said I should have stayed with my first reaction on the first warning and gone around; even though it was VMC and runway and PAPI and all terrain was in sight. We then remembered that the aircraft was written up recently for multiple lightning strikes. Nevertheless; the correct reaction is the escape maneuver for a warning.

Title: B737-800 flight crew experiences a TCAS TA and EGPWS cautions and warnings while on a night visual approach. The First Officer makes adjustments to the glide path to silence the warnings although no actual deviations below the glidepath are detected and the approach is continued to landing. The aircraft had been written-up for lightning strikes recently.
