Controversy is a part and parcel of our lives. No one has yet lived to believe everything blindly. We all are rational human beings with a sense of logic and reasoning. But faith binds us all. Christianity is the common thread that connects all of us. We all have lived to believe in the views and opinions of the Bible. But exceptions are bound to happen. Even though the book of Bible has been a lovely read from childhood, some grow to disbelief it. There are many individuals, who question the whole theory of Christianity and the role and existence of Jesus Christ.  You can say that it is the effect of modernization or our liberal thinking, which has widened its horizon with the development of science and technology. But the issue can be due to the different perspective of different individuals.

With years, the book of Christianity is being read and followed by all. So it is not unnatural that some people will like to justify it. Justification will certainly raise question and thus become the root to all controversy.  The most storming topic can be said to be the reality behind the existence of Jesus of Nazareth.

Most Christians believe that there has been a person named Jesus indeed and he has been the son of Holy Father. This group entirely believes in the miracles and myths of the Holy Bible. The gospels are the source of inspiration as well as evidence for them. The doubt about his existence may be a subject of blasphemy for them. Indeed the question arises, why should one disbelieve the tales? It may have happened indeed. The “Gospels of Q“, which is supposed to contain the information that has been orally, expressed to the people by Lord, our Father. It is indeed a precious source for all Christian followers.

But however much our faith be, one cannot deny the various evidences that many philosophers and skeptic people have put forward to prove the non-existence of Jesus. Bertrand Russell has said in one of his books, “Historically, it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do not know anything about Him.” Many Christian men and women still believe that Jesus has been a fictional figure or a Jewish prophet. While the Jews believe that the originator of Christianity was actually a peripatetic rabbi, who lived in the first century. Flavius Josephus’s book “Antiquities of the Jews” tells that Jesus has been a prudent man and Pilate crucified Him. While the present day Christian theologians believe that he was actually a historical figure.

The variety in opinions also puts forth a shadow of doubt whether the New Testament provides us fact or fiction. But the most important aspect that a true Christian person should always keep in mind is that faith is something that requires ultimate devotion under the garb of truth and judgment.
