I see you are getting a lot of answers from people who consider this matter binomial.
Silly humans... the world isn't black and white. Nothing is either all-right or all-wrong.
The effective answer is that nobody would believe him.
Of course, in order for your question to lead to any valid answer, one must accept that the truth must lie outside what people have conventionally guessed: i.e. that Jesus may be capable of resurrecting himself again, and yet is NOT thus connected to the abrahamic god. Under those circumstances, he could be considered a "fraud" in respect to what christians generally believe him to be while still having come back again... so to speak.
Take reincarnation for instance. It is possible if one believes in reincarnation as a general way of things that the one who was Jesus might be reincarnated and remember this fact... and also remember that what the christians preach is in fact incorrect, and he might tell them as much..... though I doubt anyone would believe him. Christians on average are reluctant to believe anything that might contradict their bizarre dogma... the same with muslims... Athiests don't generally believe in reincarnation or 2nd comings anyway.
Such is the way of things.
The answer to your question is that nobody would believe him.

Although it's an interesting question, the big problem with that logic is that if Jesus was a fraud, there wouldn't be a second coming. Not to be rude, just wanted to point that out. If there is a second coming, the Jesus isn't a fraud. See?

Perhaps you could start with explaining how He is a fraud when returns? Just the fact that He was crucified, dead, and buried, and then returns to earth from Heaven should be enough to make Him not a fraud.

Your logic is flawed. If indeed Christ was a fraud, there wouldn't be a second coming because He would still be dead. So, when He does come, you can rest assured He will not be announcing He is a fraud.

in case you rather seem up the go connection with the scripture at John 18: 6 you will see it factors to John 7:40 six the place it states "The officers replied: “in no way has [yet another] guy spoken like this.” They knew he grew to become into the "Christ" that's Greek for Messiah. It says no longer something approximately Him being God. alongside comparable strains, we ought to study Philippians 2:9, the place the apostle Paul describes what God did after Jesus died and grew to become into resurrected. The verse says: "God exalted him [Jesus] to a intense-high quality place and kindly gave him the call that's above the different call." If Jesus grew to become into God or equivalent to God before he died and God later exalted him to an more desirable place, might that no longer placed Jesus above God? yet how ought to every physique substitute into superior to God? And if he grew to become into God before he died, how can God die? there's no "secret" right here. Jesus is the Son of God. additionally, God constantly talked approximately Jesus as his son, and Jesus constantly talked approximately God as his father, exhibiting that God grew to become into older and had extra authority. He additionally pronounced that he got here to do God's will and not his very own, exhibiting 2 wills; his father and his. 2 separate wills. in case you desire to pass on believing that God has 3 heads, then you certainly might desire to have 3 too, given which you have been created in his image!

You need to lay off the drugs and try living in the real world for awhile. If you truly want to know about God, then quit thinking you already know all you need to know and dismiss the possibility there is a God. Find a good Christian church (I would suggest Catholic Church ) and study what they believe. Then and only then could you make an informed decision about what true FAITH is all about. "The truth will set you free "

For arguments sake I will say that he actually was the son of god.
How would he be able to came back to life if he was a fraud?
doesn't make much sense.

I don't think there would be a second coming if he were a fraud. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the point?

Humans will be waiting for Jesus right to the moment humanity dies out.
