If I could convince you that Christianity was true, then Christianity would be false.
Only God convinces. All anyone can do is present you with the information honestly.
I would talk you through every point of disagreement you had, until everything was covered and answered satisfactorily. You would have the information, and you would be able to give your assent to it.
Would this be enough for you, or are you asking to believe it too?
I'm asking you to give the best possible argument for Christianity that you can muster.
