Why not. He was the messenger sent to explain the message. That is the key not the messenger. So if he appeared why not.
Remember the ten commandments were not suggestions. But like everything else we needed to find a loophole hence Jesus Christ was needed to explain it to us.

Every day that goes by I look at the homeless asking for money. What "IF" one of them were Jesus and wanting to find out who is going to help. An older person trips and falls down. Maybe this is Jesus wanting to find a helping person. The best way I've found is be wise in your thoughts and humble in your givings. Yes it would make a difference!!!

No. He never met the requirements for being the messiah in the first place. Why do you think the Jewish folk don't accept him? He never fulfilled all the prophecies. I might talk to him, but I would not worship him. I've got my own beliefs and am not interested in converting, or rather re-converting back to Christianity. I'm an EX-Christian.
I'd be more impressed if Spongebob Squarepants showed up and said he wanted to go jellyfish hunting and fix me a crabby patty.

Like I said earlier, if he is truly Jesus, then I will know that He is the true Messiah for I have a close relationship(friendship) with Jesus my Lord and Savior.

If Jesus comes to my house physically, I don't believe it . because Matthew 24: 30 says that when He comes again physically ( as the Son of man) everybody will see Him in His glory.
so I will definitely check on the so called"Jesus" that stops by to my house, whether he is an angel of God, or even the fake such as the devil.
however, if Jesus comes in the spirit, I can feel His presence

No. I would have locked all the doors, bolted the windows, and spent my time in the corner of the dark unfinished basement rocking and drooling spittle out the sides of my mouth. Jesus Christ! I'd be traumatized. What if he wanted to stone me or my unbaptized babies? What if *shivers*, what if *chill down spine*, what if he tried to convert me? Bleeahh.

probably not for most of us....you'd think he was some nutty hippie, or a homeless person, or a home invasion robber. he did appear to have an uncanny ability to win people over quickly and to "know" them, so perhaps he would be able to change someone's mind before they slammed the door on him. let's hope so, anyway.

Jesus still has the prints of the nails in His hands and feet, and the mark of the spear in His side. You would not have to believe - you would know.
Anyone who claims to be the Messiah without those marks is an impostor.

If he displayed the powers a half-god would have maybe.
I am a Celtic Pagan though so the half-human son of the Abrahamic god would be of little interest to me.

No, because Revelation says His second coming will be from the sky, on a white horse, not hanging around my front porch.
