I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God, and my Lord and Savior.

Christians make up 33% of the world population, which is nowhere near most. It should also be noted that the US aside, about half of those are only nominally religious, often because the questionnaires which list them give them insufficient alternatives.
Jesus might, possibly, have been an historical person; Jesus Son of God is a fairy story.

Never the less that is not sufficient to show the poster is wrong, he said most of the world population believe in Jesus, not that most of the worlds population believe that Jesus is God or sun of God. Now Muslims claim also to believe in Jesus and there are 23% of world population that are Muslim that is a total of 58% Not only that some atheists and agnostics may believe that the man Jesus existed. Thus the posters statement is probably true

A bit of precision in language might come in handy. The OP said: "Most of the world population are believers in Jesus." There is a distinct difference between saying someone believes that Jesus existed (as I am prepared to concede), and to say they are believers in Jesus, which I maintain would be interpreted by any reasonable person as meaning they are Christians, since one would imagine that only Christians actually believe in him in this sense.
Did I really just mention "precision in language" and "reasonable person"? I must be going soft in the head. This is Jethro I'm talking to.

I will ignore your childish insult and refer you to Naseem's post above. He, who is a muslim, says he BELIEVES IN Jesus. It is you not I that need to pursue careful reading

Like Lash I think Jesus was Jewish preacher a couple of thousand years ago but to say that "most" of the world population are believers in Jesus is wishful thinking of the most extreme kind. I am not sure how many people are christian or Muslim (Jesus was a Muslim prophet) but I would suggest there are far far more who belong to other faiths so I would suggest that most of the world population are NOT believers in Jesus

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I follow Him because He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Him. The Power of the Resurrection is transformation, and no one can change that.

Since many years ago I don´t believe in Jesus anymore. I think its somethng than you can do when you are younger or a little boy, but when you rise, specially when you study in the university, you learn more things about live and science that makes you now there are imposibles things. And I think its imposible the existence of some God.

This seems to be a perennial question here.
I am not a believer in Jesus because I do not find the evidence that he ever existed, let alone that he is the Messiah prophesied in Judaism, credible or conclusive.
