Yes I have, is there anything else about Jesus that you speak about like his life?

Thankyou for that.
I like those words, just as they are shown in the bible.
Thankyou again for that.

Thankyou for your answer.
That's fine. I only asked because Creeds can sometimes help to give a quick idea about a person's faith, that's all.
I don't have a Creed either.

Hi Meshak.
I know we haven't talked much yet, but the strange thing is, that the more stones that get chucked at you, so the more I like you. True!
Your enemies can sometimes be your friends, even when they try not to be.
Jesus is laughing with you, all the way, or so I believe.

Hello......
Up until now I have concentrated upon what Jesus said and did as reported in the Gospels.
So I'm some way behind you on Christian knowledge, you need to know.
But I'm lrearning.... I'm a late learner.

Very well spoken!
Very well said!
In my opinion they have total conviction, high integrity, high trust and much love.
I'm only sad that I cannot share their faith.

Do you not believe in God?

I like the way that you write, as well as Marhig.
My question is this:- If you know that you are saved, then you do not have a Faith.... you have a Certitude.
Most Christians live in Faith, which of course is a very intense Hope, really.
Because of this, I perceive that you are unusual amongst Christians. Do you see my point?

If you have I don't remember, but im willing to venture that you believe that sinners Christ died for are still lost. Christ life of obedience made many righteous Rom 5:19

We are to obey God too beloved, Jesus hasn't done all the obeying for us, we are clearly taught in the Bible that we too are obey God and do his will.

That was for Meshak's benefit. Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." So Meshak maintains that Jesus came to bring peace.

Those Christ obeyed God for are made righteous Rom 5:19, do you believe that?

Ah right, I see. I believe in God and Christ. But my beliefs are different to mainstream Christianity as I don't believe Jesus is God for one, and I'm not a member of any church, we go to house meetings like Jesus and his disciples did in the Bible. But Jesus said that his brothers and sisters are those who do the will of the father. So those who do God's will and love him from their hearts and love their neighbours as themselves are my brothers and sisters in Christ also. I don't believe that God looks at the denomination, he looks at the heart. And he wants to to love him with our all, and if we truly love him, then we will want to please him and live by his will, have a forgiving heart and love others as Christ did.I believe in God.
But I cannot share my JW friend's particular faith.
Strange, it seems all you can believe is in yourself.
that is not humble attitude you have been exhibiting.
Jesus does not approve of arrogant behavior.

I believe that we have to obey God also!
We know their heart by their words and actions. Especially their actions, talk is cheap.

You're right, talk is cheap, and there are thousands of people in every denomination who say that they love God but they don't live it.
There will be JW with good hearts, and only God can know the depths of all our hearts, he is the righteous judge.
