I am the bread of life?

 

 

 

Jesus we see in the Bible making magic trick, such as raising the dead, (the Lazarus story) multiplying the fish and bread to feed the 5,000, in the first so-called miracle, and 4,000 in the second.  We find this first story in Matthew 15 :32–39 and Mark 8 :1–9, but not in Luke or John, and the second we find in all four gospels.   Many of the disciples in the New Testament were fishermen, yet, Jesus is the sole baker if we take his saying: “I am the bread of life” as a meaning.  Whereas, the Old Testament mentions many bakers among its pages.

Science has proven such events are impossible, unless they are an illusion, by trick of hand.  A rational explanation for these events can be said that a pen in the hand of a zealot can use a fair amount of poetic licence to describing the feeding of the 5,000 multitude. He can make up some wondrous tales to embellish his god.

I propose that they were not miracles, or written, as a make believe story, but, was the work of a plagiarist copying from the Old Testament, and adding his input.

 

42 A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said.

43 “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked.  But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”

44 Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord. 2 Kings 4:42-44.
