Why the miracles of 5 loaves and 2 fish and 7 loaves and a few small fish were done by Jesus?
After very long sermons, the multitude was tired and hungry in the wilderness. Multitude was ignored in the middle of the jungle by the disciples and decided to drive them away to their homes. Whereas Jesus considered them and wanted to provide food to them. If he is not bothered about the physical needs why would he feed them?
Incident of Good Samaritan. First the victim was paid attention to the physical necessities, then he went to the church.
Which pastor is taking the responsibility like above? We want only the verbal help, not the treasure from your pockets.

Practicality
Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
But did he keep quite? He prayed thrice to make sure or to escape from the crucifixion.
Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
ALSO PETER
Matthew 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. BUT PETER WAS THE ONE WHO THRICE DENIED HIM BEFORE THE COCK CREW. All the disciples ran for their lives. Even after Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter took his same old fishing net and went his way to the same old job of fishing.
Also, St. Thomas! who walked with Christ finally said unless I check you personally all your body I cannot believe what you have said and you have come alive.
Doubting and running away is human nature, we should not count that a very big mistake.

IS THERE WITCHCRAFT AGAINST CHRISTIANS?
Yes. God gave permission to Satan first not to touch Job’s body, later not to touch his life. So, Satan has permission to trouble us.
Bible says, John 16:33 …. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. While he says there is no witchcraft against Israel he means one cannot take away ones life, but there will be tribulation till one dies.

What Are Pentecost
They stain the gnat and swallow the camel. (They say no to flowers, no color dress, no ornaments, no cinema and songs, no TV etc etc but finally they elope with neighbors. They say we will turn the second cheek, we will come the extra mile, but finally they end up sitting in the courts or with witch crafting.)
They boast high of themselves above any other denomination; there are more chances they could get deceived like a Pharisee, whereas the Publican got mercy and went home righteous.
They always preach verses that support them to keep the members of the church dumb. They don’t want members asking back about what is happening in their own lives. They say it is all just faith. They are void of vision. They are blind leading the blind.
They go again and again beating about the same old bush, but they never touch untouched portions of the Bible, why God wont reveal it to them? If we show the contrary verse they say Stan is working in you and they insult us in front of everyone and make fun of us.
How come Holy Spirit and witchcraft can stay side by side in a Baptized man for 50 long years? We generally know where there is light there is no darkness. Then how both existed in the same man? God told a lie or the preachers are lying.
I think the verse Mat 20:16 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first is written for Pentecost people only. Possibly there is a deceptive spirit moving in the Pentecostal churches.

Where is the Justice?
Iniquity is multiplying these days. No more justice in courts, no more law and order in the police stations and no righteousness in the rulers. Last days. How much more we need to be careful. And how much more the pastor should take care of his flock.
GOLDEN RULE
1. One should always read the Bible and understand in the spiritual aspect, not literally in a carnal way or physical way. When it says every hair is counted, not literally, but you are taken care of.
2. Secondly the Bible always spoke and elaborately described only about the world to come, i.e. salvation and heaven. When he says like in Eph 3:20-21 .. Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think… it does not mean worldly riches.
It spoke very less about human day to day practical life and problems, and moreover it did not speak about any tradition of Christianity.(eg: You get marry in American way or African way he is not bothered.)
3. Christianity is like pregnant lady. If she is careful, well and good, all are happy, a new member is joining the family, both mother and child will survive, if not, both may lose their lives “after a painful 9-month duration, which is equal to Mat 20:16 “So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen”

Judgment
Though god said many things about high spirituality (look of a lust itself is adultery) and said our own righteousness is like torn rag he finally judging the congregation only based on their virtue. He simply said to the people on the right side (For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.).
33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Matthew 7:22-23
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
"Not the people who conducted big healing crussades, built big churches, but the ones who considered the next person as a human being, they are the ones will enter the Kingdom of God. So consider the person next to you, share the same love you show to yourself."
