Magic?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Did Jesus ever teach anyone to fish? I remember the story where he just gave people fish. 🤔

So it seems Jesus is only good with feeding people for a day, instead of the rest of their lives. 😌

Yes, the magic of an impromptu potluck

Literally the whole point of this "miracle" was to show how if everyone pools resources, there's more than enough to go around

But that didn't fit the message the Romans were going for, so they magic'd it up

The only food mentioned is the little kid fishes and bread. If it were more, pretty sure they'd mention it as well.

The whole point was that they were far away from the nearest place to buy food and money for feeding about 15k people would exceed even a yearly salary

Literally there was not enough food in the whole group for a "potluck"

Jesus made a speech, they passed around the baskets his group had for the meal, and suddenly they more than enough

Do you think they had grocery stores? That they catered events? That they even had a salary, and carried money instead of food?

I don't even know where all these numbers and money focus are coming from, but they weren't in the text

Everyone shared their lunch... That was the whole thing. They shared the food they were initially unwilling to share, and when everyone was full (including those who came with nothing) they had baskets of leftovers

Good answer, and maybe. But you can be sure the magic would help, and even without magic he would help.
