Thread: Did Jesus really multiply fish to feed all those people?

Don't you think it would've been easier if he used goldfish? <o )<

I like sushi

Yes, he had to use fish to multiply because he didn't have an abacus.

Not much of a meal. Bread and goldfish... I think they'd still have gone home hungry.

Now if he multiplied lobster...
then that would be amazing.

I think what happened is everyone in the stadium had food, but thought it would be improper to eat in less told that they could, so when he passed the basket around, people ate the food they brought, and but the leftovers in the basket. so when he finally got the basket back, more food had apperaed.

could have been exagerated either by his followers to big him up or just because stories only used to pass on by word of mouth and you know what people can be like, they see a small road accident these days tell a friend and by the time its got round three more people its a massive pile up and 10 people died

Excerpt from an article found at the website listed as "Source"....



Feeding of the 5000: (Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:34-44; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:5-13) – We learn several important lessons from this miraculous event. As with the miracle of the water and wine at Cana, we see Jesus’ absolute power over the elements of nature. Only God can create something from nothing and from five small loaves and two fish, Jesus created enough food to feed many more than 5000. The gospels tell us there were 5000 men present, but Matthew adds that there were women and children there besides. Estimates of the crowd are as high as 20,000. But our God is a God of abundant provision, and little is much in the hands of the Lord. A poignant lesson is learned by seeing that before He multiplied the loaves and fishes, Jesus commanded the multitude to sit down. This is a beautiful picture of the power of God to accomplish what we cannot, while we rest in Him. There was nothing the people could do to feed themselves; only He could do that. They had only a pittance, but in God’s hands it became a feast that was not only sufficient—it was bountiful.
