If Jesus is the Bread of Life and He fed 5000 or 4000 or 10000 people to satisfaction, does it not mean the feeding was not with physical food ? Could the story be about spiritually feeding their souls with the Living Word?

GreyApple:
How do you expect a story laid down after about seventy years to be accurate?

But we are told that it was the Holy Spirit that inspired them to write this accounts and it is normally to expect that the Holy Spirit shouldn't give a conflicting accounts of a singular event.

It is either they weren't inspired (different human accounts of a singular event) or inspired and the hands of men have corrupted the accounts!

What do you thing?

Christians like most Peter Obi supporters do not read any test that is more than four lines.

They prefer to go to church only on sundays to show off their new cloths and shoes and listen to their motivational speaker called pastor who is spewing human philosophy as doctrine and that is the same with Peter Obi supporters they are echo chamber of pickup lines from their whatsapp group admin that has no logical thinking behind it and when you try to reason with them they become aggressive and start insulting you for asking them to think and articulate their points in support of Peter Obi than against Tinubu but they have nothing to say in support of Peter Obi because he did more of nothing than anything but they prefer to say more of irrational points against Tinubu.

and Tinubu supporters don't go to church or Atiku supporters?...are u guys ok at all on dis forum?

Most Christians know about the feeding of the five thousand. Almost nobody notices the feeding of the four thousand is a completely different event with a completely different meaning.

The feeding of the five thousand occurs in all four Gospels — Jesus feeding a Jewish crowd in the region of Galilee with five loaves and two fish, with twelve baskets of fragments collected afterward. The number twelve would have carried immediate resonance for any Jewish reader — twelve tribes of Israel, twelve disciples, twelve as the number of completeness for the covenant people.

Feeding Five Thousand
‭Mark 6:34-38, 41-44 KJV‬
[34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. [35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: [36] send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? [38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
[41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And they did all eat, and were filled. [43] And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. [44] And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Then in Matthew 15 and Mark 8, a second feeding miracle occurs. Four thousand people. Seven loaves and a few fish. Seven baskets collected afterward.

Feeding Four Thousand
‭Mark 8:5-9 KJV‬
[5] And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. [6] And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. [7] And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. [8] So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. [9] And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

The location is the first key. Mark 7:31 specifies that this miracle occurs in the region of the Decapolis — the group of ten largely Gentile cities on the eastern and southeastern side of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus has just healed a deaf and mute man whose friends brought him in an episode where Jesus uses physical gesture and saliva — healing methods more familiar in the Gentile world than in Jewish practice. The crowd that has been with him for three days eating nothing is a Gentile crowd.

The numbers are the second key. Seven in Jewish numerology was the number of completion for the nations — God rested on the seventh day, bringing creation to its full completion. Seven loaves, seven baskets — the language of completeness for a people who are not Israel but are equally fed by the same hands.

Jesus did not perform the same miracle twice by accident or because the tradition confused two memories of one event. He performed it once in Jewish territory and once in Gentile territory, with numbers that said, to anyone who was listening carefully, that what he had done for Israel he was also doing for the nations.

The same bread. The same miracle. Different numbers that meant everything.

Lies, all these are fabrications.

People are really very angry with themselves in a way or so traumatized that they said it’s fabricated or just to justify that they have done bad things and don’t want to be judged by what the Bible says so they disregard it .. how can you say the Bible is fabricated, can you say the Quran is fabricated also? But you will agree that Jesus is Anabi Issa in the Quran , you will agree that suleiman is Solomon, that Moses is Musa etc… yes we know that some kings in history tried to change the Bible to suite themselves but you can’t say it’s fabricated in its entirety. Some are documentaries while some are instructional Some are prophetic, some are proverbial .. it’s not totally fabricated .

Inaccurate evidences is what this ppl celebrated..

The same message president Tinubu tried to pass to the Catholic Bishops.
Hunger had always been in the land and the church/mosque has a role to play in feeding the poor/hungry.members

LordReed:
When is any Christian alive today gonna repeat this miracle? Has your god become powerless or like I can say with a high degree of confidence, doesn't exist?

The miracle goes on and on everyday!

If true at all, either he fed 4000, 5000 people or the entire Israeli population, it doesn't change the fact that Jesus and the people he "miraculously" 'fed' in that picture/bible, doesn't look like me.

Not my God.

He (Mark) was with Jesus Christ when he is here on earth physically in human form. He was a follower of one of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ so he saw what Jesus Christ did

Ehen he met Jesus
Show us where he and Jesus met in the bible and what Jesus told him as a follower
Like the way John was reporting details of Jesus as they met

Mark 14:51-52
51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him,
52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

MARK was the young man here

Sule, sebi you can read or you no see where I said He was a follower of one of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ.

Mark was not among the 12 disciples of Christ nor has direct encountered with Christ but he witnessed many and got some details of Christ life's time on earth in human form directly from Peter
