Was Jesus a real person who lived or a fictional character around whom a religion was formed? It appears as though many atheists and skeptics of all kinds like to argue that Jesus was not real and did not exist. This presumption is generally made because the Bible conveys supernatural events, and therefore, those who hold that supernatural events cannot occur see it fitting to deny the existence of Jesus of Nazareth.
However, as professor of biblical criticism and exegesis F. F. Bruce states,
“Some writers may toy with the fancy of ‘Christ-myth,’ but they do not do so on the ground of historical evidence. The historicity of Christ is as axiomatic for an unbiased historian as the historicity of Julius Caesar. It is not historians who propagate the ‘Christ-myth’ theories.”1
Well, another prediction has failed about Christ’s second coming, which was dated to May 21, 2011. Another prophesy has been shown to be false, made by Harold Camping, a man notorious for false prophesies. As the world awakes on May 22, we need to consider the implications of this false prophesy made by this false prophet, and others like him. It should, therefore, be very valuable to consider how each group of people should proceed to live lives in accordance to reality.
