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.

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

@th3r0n

So thousands of people did set out to follow Jesus for days without any food but definitely with water?

@Pikachu there’s water in rivers and such dude...it wasn’t all polluted like it is now

@th3r0n

Oh so they did have time to look for water but in three days, thousands of people didn't bother to secure any food.
OK.

@Pikachu look for? not likely, and it wasn’t said that nobody found any food at all, but the general people were hungry, and he fed them so that they wouldn’t be sent away famished and faint, and to show his power on the earth

@th3r0n

And what a convenient, unrealistic circumstance it was for him to show his power o earth...

@Pikachu your idea of realistic isn’t very keen, and every doubt you raise is unreasonable, but if you’re determined to believe something is false, your mind finds a way for you

@th3r0n If there were rivers - dude - then that means grasses and reeds. Vegetation. Fish, amphibians. Mammals that came to drink. There would have been plenty of food.
