I don't see Jesus as my lord and savior. That last bit maybe but definitely not the first. This was a guy that balked at any special treatment that people tried to show him. He was a teacher...not royalty.
When Jesus walked on the water, do you suppose his feet got wet? Were there ripples caused by each step?
Jesus lived a fair stretch of time and

* Similar to the last one, Jesus came up in the Hebrew faith but was largely rejected by its religious leaders. I'd be very much surprised if the same thing didn't happen again should he return and interact with the leaders of the Christian faith. what can i say, people are blind, even Christians. we arent perfect. but those who truly see and believe will see and others i'm sure will eventually realize the truth if they really seek it.
* There are many who believe Jesus will return someday but how is he supposed to be recognized? It's not like there's a wholly accurate description of the guy or listing of identifying marks; can't exactly check his dental records. For all anyone knows he may've already come and gone. Jesus' return doesnt necessarily mean a phyisical return. there's an actual field of study that focuses on Revelations and the end of world with Jesus' return. i forgot what it was called, but if ur interested, you should look it up. sorry i cant be of more help here. key terms: rapture, revelation, tribulation, last days, second coming. theologians and pastors: Greg Laurie, Billy Grahm are major.
* Reincarnation not being an exact science, wouldn't it be interesting if Jesus returned as a woman? Christians dont believe in recarnation. moreover, reincarnation doesnt make sense because the population is constantly increasing in number. even if some human souls were reincarnated as humans and one's good deeds will help you reincarnate as a human, how can you be a "good" fly? bother people and eat poop?
whew. i hope i was able to address some of your points.
GOODNESS. MY COMMENT WAS SO LONG, LJ WOULDNT LET ME COMMENT ONLY ONCE (OR TWICE)

Billy Graham is a joke...if he's who I'm thinking he is. Many a year gone by, couple decades back, he actually put forth that if he wasn't given millions of dollars by a certain deadline he would die and that would end his religious following. He didn't get the money and was still walking around. Go figure!
People die everyday and reincarnation doesn't necessarily imply a return to humanity from humanity. Even if people remained people and came back on a regular basis of several hundred a day you've got to keep in mind that even without wars and terrorists, it's normal for several thousand people to die everyday of natural causes.
