Superman Vs. The Supper Man

 

Jesus, Lord over the last supper, also fed many thousands, miraculously, more than once (Matthew 16:9-10).

Superman couldn't even do that.

Jesus is the real Superman. But, truly, he's the Supper Man.

I wonder if any 'soup kitchens' have this bit of scripture, say, on a plaque inside their facility? Seems like a good reminder and guide to me for such endeavors.

 

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 14, verses 16-21 says:

 

"Jesus replied, 'They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.' 'We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,' they answered. 'Bring them here to me,' he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children."

(Matthew 14:16-21)

Yes, There's John 3:16 -- But What About 17 & 18?

First, I want to apologize. I've not shared anything here in almost 4 months. Still shared some on Facebook, but not here. In those 4 short months, I've moved to Colorado, gotten married, and started back to college.

Life changes... thankfully, God's word, God's promises, God's faithfulness, do not.

Okay, I'm not clear on the differences of beliefs, but I'm asking for clarity, here, today. If there are Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm asking kindly and hope any will answer the same. Also, I know I have a few friends here that are Mormons. So I'm asking about John 3:17-18?

If I'm wrong on what I think I roughly understand both Jehovah's Witnesses & Mormons to believe, I apologize, please forgive me. I think I understand Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses believe something to the effect that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers, and Jesus is not God incarnate. If that's the case, how then do you answer the questions the following 2 verses bring up, please?

I'm asking in sincerity here, wishing to understand better. Thanks to any who care to try to clarify:

This is Jesus speaking to Nicodemus, teacher of the Jews, here:

John 3:16-18 --
16 “For God so loved the world,[i] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Now, it says twice there in 3 verses, "only son." So how exactly are Jesus and whoever else, thought to be brothers, please?

Thanks to any who care to discuss this civilly.
