LOLBut that's not what happened in the story, where Jesus took a little and made it into a lot, to demonstrate the power and love of God.The Bible story is a parable, not reality. God did not increase the fish and bread. It is a moral lesson which is meant to say that we should all pool together and shareHow is she wrong?This is really a very laughable post. Too, too funny.Jesus absolutely was not a liberal. The loaves and the fishes is not an indication that he was socialist...he didn't take bread and fish from anyone and re-distribute it. He took what was available, and God increased it. He didn't tell people to take money from others and spread it around..he told them to spread their own money around.
Huge difference. Of course progressive nutbags don't understand it, it's waay too subtle for their clunky brains.
So, you must be wrong.
It is a Bible story, a parable. Yes."A parable is a story that teaches a truth. Since the feeding of the 5,000 was an actual event recorded in all four gospels of the New Testament , it is not a parable."

I'm not a fanatical, athiest zealot. I am a person who knows the difference between reality and a myth, between fictional stories and reality, one who knows that miracles do not happen. The material you cite is meant to justify the beliefs of Christians, not to recognize the difference between fantasy and reality.For the biblically illiterate:
"A parable is a particular type of teaching method that involves a comparison or use of analogy between two different things. It involves words, used to illustrate and instruct. A miracle, on the other hand generally involves an action rather than just words. In relation to Jesus' miracles, for example, the miracle was performed to meet a need, often to heal a sick person. Of course, many of Jesus' miracles also illustrate and teach things about Jesus, especially His compassion and divine power, but they are primarily action rather than words."

The Parables of Jesus Intro and List
^^Check out the list. Nothing about the loaves and fishes. Because it isn't a parable, nitwit. It would help if you actually knew the meaning of the words you like to toss about.
The MIRACLE of the loaves and fishes is considered a MIRACLE, not a parable.
"The Feeding of the 5000 and of the 4000 men—Jesus, praying to God and using only a few loaves of bread and several fish, feeds thousands of men, along with an unspecified number of women and children; there are even a number of baskets of leftovers afterward."

I love it when fanatical atheist zealots think they have any credibility when it comes to their weird-ass interpretations of the word. I think that their obvious unfamiliarity of the Bible, and their ignorant acceptance of whatever they hear on A&E alien shows from the 70s, is to blame for their views, and composes the whole of their comprehension of the religion they claim to understand,.

Look, sweetheart, I haven't been calling you any bad names, though you may deserve them. So stop calling me bad names. If anyone is a good Christian, it is I because I'm not here calling you all kinds of nasty names. You are not a Christian at all if you cannot communicater with someone without name calling. Pathetic.It is a Bible story, a parable. Yes."A parable is a story that teaches a truth.

Even wiki knows you're wrong:
"The First Feeding Miracle, "The Feeding of the 5,000" is the only miracle (apart from the resurrection) which is present in all four canonical Gospels: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 and John 6:5-15.[1] The second miracle, "The Feeding of the 4,000" with 7 loaves of bread is reported by Matthew 15:32-16:10 and Mark 8:1-9 but not by Luke or John. This miracle is also known as the miracle of the seven loaves and fish, although it is more usually known as the 'miracle of the five loaves and fish.'

I realize you aren't even bright enough to understand that you obviously don't understand the difference between parables and miracles, but that won't stop me from pointing it out.

And you are obviously not an authority on what the Bible means.How is she wrong?This is really a very laughable post. Too, too funny.Jesus absolutely was not a liberal.

The Bible story is a parable, not reality. God did not increase the fish and bread. It is a moral lesson which is meant to say that we should all pool together and share. Jesus collects all the available fish and bread and redistributes it so everyone gets some. To believe God increased it is to believe in a Sunday school tale: to believe in a fairy tale. The story is meant to be a lesson, not reality. At least if you are an adult.
Sorry, the majority of Christians don't believe that. Nor are you an authority on what the bible means.

Consider the Lillies of the Field, they receive no subsidies nor food stamps.
Remember when Jesus told the Jews to look to Rome for their food and sustenance?
(7) “But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?”[1 John 3:17 KJV]
How can a conservative so-called “Christian” read this passage and keep voting for people who give tax cuts to the rich, while slashing programs that feed families, care for the elderly and disabled, house the homeless, provide healthcare, protect consumers, and keep our air and water clean?
That's why he would be appalled at the liberal notion of government providing aid to people. It should come from the heart of the individual. "Give to Caesar that which is Caesar..." Personally I prefer a "thousand points of light."
Exactly. We should have taxpayers give out of their hearts, instead of hoarding and trying to screw over poor American and only giving to people willing to convert to your twisted back-asswards religious medievalism.

You keep wanting to co-opt Jesus for your Marxist redistribution schemes but it only demonstrates your fundamental ignorance on Jesus.
Tax cuts = Rome

Did you mean to say something? Or were you just re-posting my comment in the hopes that maybe you'd understand it better the second time around?
Nor did he suggest that Christians force others to give to charity or that paying your taxes so that the state may take care of the poor is an equitable substitute for giving to charity.I understand Jesus a lot better than you do. Jesus never modeled going against the Government, dissing the poor and coddling the rich. Read your Bible.

Blaspheme much?You must mean Jesus from Jesus's Green Thumb Landscaping who cuts your lawn. Clearly, you couldn't be wronger about what Jesus Christ said.
No, he knew that Rome was corrupt. After all, they crucified Him. When and if you succeed in completely corrupting the United States, it will be like Rome and Jesus won't have to depend on it to help the poor and less fortunate.He did not harangue Rome and Romans to feed the poor, nor did he call for the Jews to redistribute their wealth.
Stop posting, start reading
