Jesus could give the whole world plenty of beans and potatoes, yet they'd still starve.

Still a copout, sorry.

Hunger is hunger. An actually hungry person KNOWS what hunger is, trust me. (That leaves the overwhelming majority of us here on C-D out.) She knows it's not a thirst for the spirit or blah-blah. It's a fact of: she weighs 84 pounds, her hair has fallen out, she isn't menstruating and her body is self-cannibalizing whatever bit of muscle mass it had left in the final stages before she expires.

Could Jesus, if he were God and if God were all-powerful as the Bible states, solve this if he wanted to?

Yep.

God/Jesus/ghost once fed people manna from heaven.




Why did God/jesus/ghost decide to shut down the manna factory and starve it's creations including infants?

Jesus could without question remove world hunger. But He has His reasons why He doesn't do it. He has His reasons why He let it happen in the first place. It's up for us to figure all of this out. Good luck to all as you ponder the reasons. Nobody can answer these questions. You don't hear them on tv very much. It shakes people up and with good reason.

The people in Jesus' day misunderstood the significance of the manna. They longed for a physical miracle, like the manna, which would prove to them that Jesus' words were true (John 6:31). But Jesus wanted his disciples to seek for the bread of heaven that gives life to the world, instead of physical bread to satisfy their appetites. When they asked, "From now on give us this bread, " he answered, "I am the bread of life" (vv. 32-35). To the church in Pergamos, Jesus encouraged faithfulness by promising that true believers would receive "hidden manna" to eat (Rev 2:17). Just as Moses' manna brought with it physical blessing, so this heavenly reward will bring eternal life.

God did many things for the Israelites--they in turn kept falling away to the desires of the flesh. So no matter what God did for them, they quickly forgot.
God sent his son to all, who taught-- Matthew 6:33-- Therefore, keep on seeking-FIRST-the kingdom and his( YHWH(Jehovah) righteousness and all these other things will be added to you( sustenance, covering, spirituality-Matt 6)-- a promise from Jesus that his Father would provide all 3 things daily if needed. But they had to apply that teaching to their daily lives.
Few bother to listen to Jesus. That is the biggest problem on this earth. for the majority--they are taught by the world to look out for #1 first--seek $$$$ and pleasure.
There is no trinity God in existence= 100% fact. The religionsssssss that serve the trinity are not taught that truth from Jesus. They are not taught much of what he actually taught in those religions who are this with 0 doubt--Mark 3:24-26--A house divided( 33,000 trinity religions) will NOT stand.

Uh, didn't "manna from heaven" happen in exodus?

Jesus wasn't invented yet, physically.
