that was reported by the bible, would you be of the same belief?

The people who were there saw it all, and still crucified Him.
Only those blessed and chosen will believe, no matter how many outward miracles are shown them. Matter of fact the miracles were done to condemn them to unbelief. I know, hard to wrap your mind around, isn't it?

If I actually saw a true miracle, I'd believe him. But I think that Jesus didn't perform any true miracles.
The first apostle, Paul, (that part of the bible was written about 40 years after Jesus died) doesn't actually mention any miracles at all, except that he "resurrected from death", which I believe was meant symbolicly. You know how we say that someone lives on in our hearts after they've died? Same thing, really.
Any miracles that are attributed to Jesus were added later by the other gospel writers, 50 to 80 years after Jesus had died. Wake up my friend. Jesus was a great leader, but not a super-human.

No - As it now stands, all of Christianity is based upon hear-say and centuries of repetitious translations and man's misjudgment of said work - If I saw it I still would not believe it with my own two eyes. The ambiguity is too much for me. There are too many weird stories for me - it's a little over the top.

If I saw everything that is recorded in the Bible, with my own eyes, my belief would be even stronger than it is now, because I would truly be a witness to his mercy and grace.

I've seen magic acts. They are all done with tricks, special effects. Jesus would probably get a gig at a casino showroom in Las Vegas this century.

I would probably be exactly the same.
And non-believers would probably be exactly the same. People saw Jesus do miracles, they saw him rise from the dead, and they still refused to believe.
The things reported in the Bible happen today, everyday, and non-believers call it coincidence.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So are some non-believers.
Godspeed.

No, I would be different because my life experience would be different, but I do believe that Jesus is Lord because of my own life experience and how the Holy Spirit moves in my life.

Oh, yes. I love the Lord with all my heart. In fact, I have wished many times that I could have been alive while He was on the earth.

Yeah. I am a Christian now. If He were here today and we could see the miracles He did...I'm sure a lot of people would have a much stronger faith.

Yes because I am pretty sure I have seen David Blaine, Criss Angel, and David Copperfield all perform similar "miracles"
