A rational argument. Instead of the mind numbing arguments I typically see. I am not holding my breath.

I believe he probably walked this Earth, but only as a mortal. Just like every other human being ever born on this planet. I can open up almost any 1 page in the bible and put it in another book it would be classified as fiction, but because of in some cases 1 person or very small groups supposedly witnessed things. I should take it as law to govern my whole life and way of thinking, I think not. The bible being many different men's testament of Christ's life I didn't know those people and can't let them interpret life for me.

I believe he existed, the man.
If you are asking what would it take to believe he is the all powerful son of an all powerful God, it would first take a demonstration and definition of an All Powerful Deity. An all powerful anything should be able to kill itself forever.
Can anything all powerful do that?
It is possible that there is a race or being of higher intelligence than the human race somewhere out there.
Dunno if that entitles it to uncritical worship and my undying belief.
If a being seeded the earth and performed genetic "miracles" with scientific methods beyond my comprehension at the time, then demanded obedience, why would I have to worship it?

I do believe he existed and was a groovy guy who wanted to make peace and spread the love of God. I don't believe in God, however, so I don't believe in Jesus' power as the King of Heaven. I mean, if he's the King up there, what does God do all day? Twiddle his thumbs? Or does he do more executive work?
Anyway, a demonstration or example of his power doesn't work, because you can attribute anything to him ,can't you? Oh look, a hurricaine...witness Jesus! Look, that lamb jumped out of a tree! Jesus did it!
No...I think if you wanted to convince me that a good man who lived 2000 years ago became our King in heaven, you would have to show me the man with holes in his wrists and ankles, like it says he showed a few of his disciples in the bible. He criticized them for not believing, according to the text, but I would gladly take that criticism if it meant knowing I was wrong and there actually is a presence up there guiding us, and granting us a blissful afterlife. I would LOVE that, but I don't believe it. Sorry

As Islam is the last religion, it included more benefits to believers as well as more clearer guidance.
Christian converting to Islam is rewarded twice by God. First because they believed in Jesus and followed the bible and again because they believed in Mohamed and his religion.
People develop and their demands and interests grow more so laws change to serve the same purpose which is the welfare of people, and so Islam and Christianity.
For example, when you die and you leave a wealth, how it is divided if you did not say. In Islam there are detailed calculations about this topic.
Christians fast longer time, Muslim fast also but for only 30 days and only from Dawn time till Sun Set.
Thus, let us agree that religion is by God to human being through its messengers. So it is your call to either enjoy more benefits or just follow what you feel better for you.
It is only God who can judge among us.

In order to believe, someone needs to be offered something so compelling that it's nearly undeniable proof.
So far, there are more undeniable truths in Judaism than in Christianity. There are more contradictions in Christianity, more disenchanted people who haven't found truth, and many Christians who have become Jews.
What example of power could you bring that would say it was Jesus rather than G-d anyway? Wouldn't any "miracle" you brought have just as easily been done by G-d than by Jesus?

Well, it's funny you ask, becuase I'm not a Christian, I'm Agnostic. I beleive Jesus existed, there is historical evidence of such. Do I beleive he is the son of God? As a matter of fact, do I beleive in God? I can't give a yes or no answer to that becuase I don't have enough evidence or fact to support it. As an Agnostic - I beleive in the possibility of such things, but without hard evidence, I refuse to beleive in support of or against Jesus as the son of God. Hard factual evidence that cannot be disproved would be enough for me.

I believe in the man not in his divinity. All messengers had a gift. Moses ten commandments, Noah arc, Jesus servant of God, a miracle worker, and the son of a virgin, Muhammad the Quran Peace be upon them all

If you want to know what it would take to believe that the man existed, not much, thats prett much universally excepted. To believe he was the one true son of god, you wuld have to prove that god himself existed.
For those that believe and god but not that jesus was his son, it would most likely take the word of god himself, because any demonstration of any power could be an illusion created by evil incarnate.

I believe the man existed. I believe he was a historical figure. I believe he preached about his religious beliefs. I do not believe he was or is a deity and I do not believe he is coming back in his original form to this earth. Given that, there is nothing that will change my opinion on that. Blessed Be.

I believe the man existed. I believe he is as much the child of god as you or I. I believe he had a great message and greater enemies. I believe it is not necessary to join his fan club in order to get to heaven.
I also believe the Check Spelling button is under-used by most people.
