We form our personal beliefs, opinions and even ‘likes and dislikes’ because of what we have heard from our childhood, initially spoken by parents and other family members and then by teachers and various other people, among whom we grew up. Once we learnt to read, more things got inculcated in our minds from the…

In Chapter 1, Verse 5 of Paul’s letter to “Titus”, he states that he left Titus in “Crete”, which is the 4th largest island in the Mediterranean. But in NONE of his 3 Missionary Journeys recorded in the Book of ACTS does it state that Paul Ministered or even visited Crete. Strangely Titus is NOT…

Scribes [Hebrew “Sofar”, plural “Soferim”] had been in existence from the time the alphabets were invented. That is from Egypt onwards. In most countries their main job was to maintain records relating to various ‘Kings and Leaders’ – Ezra 6:1 & 2; Esther 6:1 etc. Similar Scribes existed in Israel too that recorded events relating…
