In summary, for me, it's all about my personal experiences. As mentioned, I
have met Jesus in the flesh and talked to Him for about 15 minutes. I do
not possess the language skills to adequately describe how utterly awesome
that experience was.
As pointed out, I cannot prove that this person was Jesus or even if anyone
at all was in the room that night.
It's not even a question of you proving it. I think a more important question
is why would even you believe it yourself.
Feelings, emotions and personal experience that nobody else can corroborate
in any manner, are an extremely unreliable way of attesting what's real and
what's not.
You don't know what caused your experience (it doesn't matter if you claim
that you do; you don't.) You are jumping to a conclusion from an unknown,
without any kind of experimental evidence and corroboration. This is an
argument from ignorance. You are, basically, deceiving yourself.
If someone appeared in front of me claiming to be Jesus (or Buddha, or
a Hindu god, or whatever) and performed all kinds of miraculous-looking
acts, I still wouldn't believe them outright. That's because I know that
my senses are fallible and unreliable, and I wouldn't trust them to attest
the veracity of a very extraordinary event that nobody else can corroborate
and test. (And before you jump the gun: Extraordinary events and ordinary
events have different standards of evidence because of their importance.)
The event might have been supernatural, or it might have been completely
natural. It might have been fully a product of my brain, or it might have
been a combination of real events and hallucinations. It might have been
a real event, but not caused by any supernatural being. The point is that
without further evidence I just can't know what caused it. Therefore I'm
unwilling to jump to any conclusions.
And as for this person claiming to be whoever, people can lie. Even
hypothetical supernatural beings can lie. That proves absolutely
nothing.
