On many of the dated posts I answered questions about my belief in Jesus.I believe in Jesus. I believe that Jesus is the son of the Father God who was tortured and sacrificed for our sins. Did I see Jesus, no. I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah.
Do I pray to Jesus? No. I pray the way Jesus said to pray and then use that format to add what I need to add. Jesus is the mediator to God the Father. Yes, I also know Jesus' name is pronounced Yahshua.
Please allow me to quote a few examples.:
Matthew 6:
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
John 14
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

I believe you are right on! It is scripture, the very word of God. Jesus is the only way to find Him, the only way to Him, and the only one pure enough to cover our sins. Thank you, Anthony, for your testimony.
