i'm going to hit u all on the spiritual side for a second.
what if Jesus did not come to earth all those years ago but was born of a virgin in the year 1970 in a laundry room of a motel that had no vacancy.
the year is now 2000. what if he is now teaching that the only way into the kingdom of heaven is through him. would u compare him to David Koresh and other cult leaders? would u so readily accept his perfoming of mericles? what if we were still waiting on the messiah in the year 2000 and had no new testament but only the old testament?
just a few questions to make u think

What an interesting question!!! I think several things would happen. First, if this little 14-15 year old chick said an angel came to visit her and told her she would give birth to the Messiah then her folks would have probably taken her to the first doctor (GYN & PSYCH) they could find. After the psych concluded that she was not delusional (sp?) and the GYN confirmed that she was indeed a virgin (there are ways...) it would make the evening news. Then her Cuddin (you know how we do!) Lizzie (Elizabeth), with her pregnant old self, would show up talking about her baby leaped in her womb when Mary showed up. Folks all over the country would hear about it and shake their heads at the poor crazy people and speculate that Mary's father had actually raped her and that she was suppressing memories to releave herself of the trauma. After Mary had the baby all of the OT scholars would come out and prove that he is fufiliing the prophecies. Other folks would include them in the crazy group and scientists would be on Nightline, CNN, 20/20, etc. 'proving' that it is scientifically impossible for a woman to get pregnant with out sperm.
Fast forward 30 years and Jesus is going around doing miracles and such. Some people will see things with their own eyes and still not believe. Other folks will not even see and believe.
But, to answer your original questions...Since I know that I did not choose Him, but He chose me, I would say Yes! I would believe again 'cause He would choose me again!!
Thank you Jesus for the gift of salvation!!
