O Thx, Viking.

So the five loaves and two fishes fiasco was not a handout?

Nice try. This passage was part of an old tradition in Judaism which had to do with a dowry in exchange for a wife wherein the family that was in extreme circumstances would sell their daughter to become a wife. In the event that she was not taken as a wife she was to be released from the contract. Unfortunately modern day Christian denominations rewrote the passage and that is what you would find upon a search. Imagine that you had a daughter who was obese or just ugly, kind of like her father :thumbsup: rofllol , and the only way you could get her married off was through this method. You might have found it to be a convenience back in biblical times.

So the Bible is wrong? Where does it say that this passage is no longer applicable?

Problem is nowadays, if you don't give a hand out, they give you a finger up. Handouts are expected anymore. We have officially become a welfare nation under this administration.

So that socialist, Jesus Christ, was wrong to hand out free food to the masses?
