Should we take the miracle of the loaves and fishes seriously? [Spirituality & Religion]

the whole Bible is correct

I believe in god and the bible

You should take the bible seriously

If Jesus were really omnipotent, he could've created water bottles.

Seriously, though, as it was explained to me by a Jesuit priest, the miracle wasn't in multiplying loaves and fishes. The good act was that Jesus convinced those with some to share with those who had none regardless of culture or status. Not an easy thing to do even today in the culture of "I got mine."

You're asking tough questions, it upsets people because it challenges their established belief system.

Yes because people took them in! And yes it was a miracle just like he does today multiplying our money if we put him first! I have seen so many money miracles! I dare not give him my first tenth! And no I’m not scared I just take his promises serious! God knows we need our food and we love our money! So he challenges us to give, and he rewards us!
There I witness because I want people to understand that God is a rewarded of those who love him!

Worshipping Yahweh and Jesus makes one a Christian but reading the bible made me an atheist.

Apparently you don’t have an idea of the awe that someone would be in seeing the sick be healed instantly and perfectly, demons cast out, and teaching of wisdom beyond the mind of man

It's not that complicated.
1. People go somewhere intending to listen and go home. Instead they keep following. It's pretty clear from the context of the four gospels that this happened on multiple occasions - people following him round so that to get away he had to cross the lake.
2. People didn't drive in those days, so wherever you walked you knew where the water sources were. That was just normal. And perhaps Jesus was sufficiently intelligent to not walk into a place where 5000 plus people following who were ill-prepared would perish for lack of water.

My fav is when he is trying to find a place to get sleep but the sycophants won't leave him alone.

Ive just read all your comments and i have come to the conclusion you have a real issue with me,you havent questioned anyone elses answer but mine, i see you feed off the confrontation with me,i only wish you knew me in real life because believe me you would not have the audacity to keep trying to test me,being a keyboard warrior doesnt make you a man it just shows your immaturity and your bullying tactics,you and your friend KAREN need to learn sone real manners

Yes. The Bible is inspired.

i'd like to imagine it was simply because jesus took them from that one kid that did pack a lunch but nobody else wanted to eat the lil kids lunch so they all passed up on it.

I always took it to be that seeing Jesus share his food inspired others to do the same.

Terrible catering arrangements for a supposed all powerful God.
No vegetarian or vegan options!
Lazy 🤷‍♀️

No the whole bible is bollocks
