You prefer to keep it private, then. I’ll respect that and not ask again.
Are you still in physical pain? I’d imagine you are.

I think they wore animal skins because the alternative was freezing their tails off. Had nothing to do with shame, IMO.
You’ve mentioned this several times. Are you talking about charity, volunteering with a food pantry or working in a soup kitchen? People need spiritual sustenance just as surely as they need physical sustenance.
Is this what you mean?
Doesn’t say they were cold:
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
When I feed you, you get a couple of slices of bread and a slice of ham or cheese, and maybe, depending on the season, a piece of fruit.
Or.. if you aren't the masses, you get some chili concoction that may burn your upper lip. Or duck, (ISWEARIWASNOTTHERE), or semi-raw chicken, stewed in peppers hot enough to kill any bacteria. (or reasonable man)
Nope. when I say I feed people. I mean people. And food. No need to be mysterious about it.

And this relates to the originator of the thread how?
Sorry, I’ve assumed there must be some sort of spiritual angle. It’s a thread posted to the Religion Forum by an individual with “pastor” in his screen name, so it’s an understandable mistake if I’ve made one.
If this is a closed religious forum, I'm sorry for intruding, and ask the RM to nuke me.
But just because someone is called 'pastor' doesn't make him right.
And if you missed my spiritual angle... You... well... God bless you.

Food. People...
Later, we got to the spiritual part.

Not closed to anyone that I noticed. Just the usual, minimal rules on decorum to keep it from turning into too much of a donneybrook, lol.
I haven’t missed that there is some sort of spiritual angle, but I am trying to understand it better. It’s not jumping out at me.
Help me out, here.
There was a miraculous aspect to it before there ever was enough to feed those present.
Help yourself out, slick.
If you didn't feed anyone today... with your own hands.... did you do what is important?
/johnny
Every feeding of a crowd is a minor miracle.

Thanks for the post, Pastor Bill. I for one enjoy and receive from them. If memory serves correctly, I thought I heard you on a radio show here in the Mpls./St. Paul area a few months back. Hope to get a chance to visit your church and meet you in person sometime.
You have made my point Johnny- I will pray for you-As for who I fed, all that matters is that God knows everything...
And for that we should give thanks to God.
