Are there any traces for the life of Jesus Christ? What if the stories in the Bible and in other religious books are not real?
“There is no archaeological evidence directly for Jesus. Non-textual evidence begins around the year AD 200,” says Gathercole. Leaving aside the archaeology referring to episodes in the life of Jesus, the veracity of which is questioned, there are various physical artefacts associated with the crucifixion. So, the Romans they really burned all of Jerusalem to erase the traces, and therefore we do not know today where the places in the history of suffering really are.
So, why are there so few historical evidences of the life to Jesus Christ? Was he really living, and did he come from Nazareth? Many people today, think that Jesus was alive, and that the things we are reading about today really happened. And we should move away the imagination that the life to Jesus Christ was really a fiction, and we should think of him today.
In April 70 ce, about the time of Passover, the Roman general Titus besieged Jerusalem. Since that action coincided with Passover, the Romans allowed pilgrims to enter the city but refused to let them leave—thus strategically depleting food and water supplies within Jerusalem. So, the problems of proving the life of Jesus Christ and getting the suffering of his life, are due to the problems that the Romans burned all Jerusalem, so the places were unknown, and we should know nothing about all the things and the places that are mentioned in the Bible. And today, we must rely on ourselves and on our beliefs, and beliefs are either right or they are wrong, and that is the consequence we must take when believing if there was a man called for Jesus Christ, the son of God, coming from Nazareth.
In the sciences, we are using two requirements if anything should be considered as truth with a story and a history, and that is that the story should be reliable, and we should also use all the kinds of validity to be sure or not sure about what we are reading about. And many people nowadays think that Jesus Christ was living, and since the human nature in the nature always is in doubt about what has happened, we should pray to God for believing in the stories about Jesus Christ, and that God can give us hope and strength through the life to master and to satisfy all the challenges that are coming.
What does it mean that Jesus was alive? It means just that- that He is literally alive, and is now reigning over us as God, since Jesus was God since the beginning of time, and came into human history in the 1st century, as a man-to give us a chance to share in the divine life we lost due to sin, in the beginning of time. We cannot know all our beliefs for sure, but many people around the world believe in Jesus Christ, the Creation as we find in the nature, and the Holy Spirit as we find in our daily lives.
So, could the story about Jesus Christ and his life be a fiction? Too many people through all times have been written about it, and we should focus our faith in God, and believe in God’s talents and knowledges in creating the world, the earth and the universe. These things can not be done by humans, and we do not know for sure in our lives, since there are many sources in the lives we are living, and since people do not know what the reality is, and how it should be framed, and this can be done in many ways. And the Bible has been written through many years, and some of these things can be true, and something can be false. But we should believe that we are getting the truth and not faked news when we are searching in the book of all books and the wisdom in the world, namely in the books called for the Bible. And there are also other books covering the story about Jesus Christ, and what God has done to the humans through all times. So, choose yourself, whether you will believe in this things or not. The are plenty things of reading about in life, and much is brought into doubt, and that is the way we understand the history.

Growing up I was told about Jesus Christ and to discover who he really was I read the Bible many times but I later discovered how much we need to believe in Him more than to just read about him. It may be hard to get all traces about Him to believe that he ever lived but reading the Bible, you will know how important it is for a person to believe than to see. I have personally had an encounter with the Lord Jesus and so I believe that he came to the world, live among men, died and rose again and he is alive today.
