Jesus did two feeding miracles. In both occasions, the crowd were with Jesus Christ in a desolate place – the five thousand Jews and the four thousand Gentiles (Matthew 15:32-39; Mark 8:1-10).

Christendom has two important annual occasions – the celebration of Christmas and the remembering of the Holy Week. It is widely acknowledged that the month of December, a winter time in Bethlehem (December to February), cannot be the time of Christ’s incarnate birth, given that Scripture spoke of shepherds in the field at the timeContinue reading “The Essence Of Our Faith”
Utopia
I have previously written about my conversion to Christianity on my blog entitled “Regarding Wilmer”.
