There's dozens of possibilities. First you must prove that Christ even existed and the evidence of that is not near so solid as you probably think. Secondly, even if jesus did exist, who says the record of their actions is accurate?
Many other questions could follow ...
What if the bible is made up and the entire story is fiction?
What if jesus and his disciples were con men getting free food from gullible tent dwellers?
What if his disciples didn't see shit, but someone 100 years after the fact just wrote that they did?
What if ALL the "witnesses" are just fabrications? Is there any way to verify these "witnesses"?
Just because something is written down a long time ago, doesn't make it true.
What if the Quran is true and jesus was just an ordinary prophet and Allah is the one you should be praying to?
Are you going to hell? ... because there is A LOT of muslims who believe you are a blasphemous infidel worthy of eternal punishment! What makes them wrong and you and your disciples right?
