First off I'd ask to see his identification papers....and if he wasn't Jesus, I'd say thanks for the light show but I must keep on truckin' up the road till I see Jesus. :)

So you would reject an actual "live" demonstration of supernatural powers in favor of hearsay evidence of miracles you have not witnessed allegedly performed by Jesus, a person you have never met, who may not have even existed except in a book (the Bible)?

I would ask him why he performed the miracle, try to find out how he achieved it (if he was aware of an anomally and freak weather conditions). I would then (if I was convinced he was genuine) ask him why he needed me to follow him and, depending on the answer I would then decide.

If I truly believed he was 'someone special' maybe I would.

I've always been the curious sort. I'd ask him exactly how he did that, what the mechanism was. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it was actual magic or that the wonder-worker was somehow divine.

As far as following him, it would depend on where he proposed going, who was driving, and when we would get back. :D

Might does not make right. I wouldn't necessarily follow this person/being. I'd want to know what they stood for first.

If you are meaning 'reject' in the way of rejecting to follow this person because of the miracle they performed, yes I would unless I could determine with certainty they were a messenger from God.

PS...you didn't answer the OP. ;)
