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

Quite apart from the supernatural element, are we to believe that thousands of people were following Jesus around for days and none of them brought food?🤔
I guess they brought water though because there's no miracle of the water bottles.

the whole Bible is correct
@noundies

Well that's not true.
Unless a cow, upon seeing a striped stick, will give birth to a striped calf.

@noundies its rubbish . Read it from cover to cover and you will see it contradictes itself .Its fairy tales and thats all it is .
noundies · 70-79, M
@Rhodesianman It is no more fair tale than you are because it was written by inspired by Jehovah God

@Rhodesianman I have read many times that is why I said it is true

@noundies that’s right!👍️

@Pikachu We went over this before! If they were put infront of the branches to nibble at the leaves they were bread and fed and thrived and God helped those cows thrive! God helped Jacob!
@Carazaa

So will a cow who sees a striped stick give birth to a striped calf?

Yes or no?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu yes or no 😏? You are such a black and white thinker, and bossy too!
Yes! God gave jacob more sheep than Laban! Why? Because Jacob obeyed God and he prospered! It was a miracle! Kind of how I made double what I usually made in February when I tithed double! See God wants to see our faith! I knew if I gave more God would double my wages! It was a miracle!
@Carazaa

You seem to be avoiding the question.
It is a black and white answer. It is a binary result. Either the whole bible is correct or it is not.
You've agreed with noundies that the whole bible is correct.
The bible states that a cow, upon seeing a striped stick will give birth to a striped calf.

Is that true or is it not? Can you show a cow a striped stick and have its calf be striped?
Yes or no?

Yes God did a miracle for Jacob! It was maybe also a way to entice the flocks to eat and certain males to breed with Jacobs sheep! Why don’t you start a post did God stop the sun to give the Godly King more time! The Bible is full of miracles! God helps us!
@Carazaa

Oh i see.
It's not something we can ever verify as true, just an account of a miracle which we must accept at face value.
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu Christians know that God has helped them because it’s faith in action!
So what do you say about Joshua and king Hezekiah asking God to stop the sun!
Here is NASA verifying a miracle in space which is interesting about the sun

@Pikachu
You don’t have to accept it! I do!
@Carazaa

So you make a declaration of faith and then change the subject.

Ok, why not.

How is this a verification by NASA confirming a story in the bible?
As far as i can tell from the vague details of your link, there was an anomaly in the data which Christians then declared was PROOF that the sun had stood still at the time declared in the bible.
How was this verified and corroborated?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu I’m not changing the subject I answered and then gave you an example of something else seemingly unbelievable, a miracle!
So You have asked a lot of questions now I have a question for you! Do you realize that the Bible is full of miracles? Do you know what a miracle is? What is a miracle?
@Carazaa

Well you sure ignored the question i just asked you:

What is a miracle

A miracle is an amazing event which defied natural laws or cannot be explained by natural means.

And?

@Pikachu
Bingo! Thank you! I think you seem to be wanting to prove that the Bible authors were either liars, or crazy, true?
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu I answered! You just missed it earlier then or didn’t read my answer! Yes was my answer!
@Carazaa

you seem to be wanting to prove that the Bible authors were either liars, or crazy, true?

False.

I don't see where you answered that....
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu where I wrote yes or no 😏 ( in that answer a little ways down)
Carazaa · F
@Pikachu
You don’t want to prove that the Bible is written by men not inspired by God? And that those people were either crazy or liars? Why then?
@Carazaa

Carazaa...I'm not interested in playing games with you.
You don't seem to be interested in giving me a straight answer so i'm going to end the conversation here.

Have a pleasant evening🙂
