Just to be pointlessly practical, she stated that he fed her. Food is actually the last thing she needs to worry about.

She would have suffocated long, long, long before starvation would have been an issue.

Some water would also have been nice.

If I were an enterprising rescuer, I would have collected her poop and sold it on the interweb as divine poop from devine food.

I wonder what Jesus was bringing her? Was he old school fish and bread or did update the menu and give her mac and cheese.

Maybe he fed her shrimp gumbo, then BAM! kicked it up a notch with some "essence".

you're an idiot

If it was on TV, they couldnt "Keep it under wraps" even if they wanted too... it would be out there.

They can as they wouldn&#39;t want it to go international. [/b][/quote]
Why not?

Prophet Jesus looks after Muslim in person - I think they would be rather keen on that idea.

Was any message imparted? Or was this purely a mission of mercy?

because it would contradict their beliefs. They believe that Jesus did not die but was taken into heaven. The little girls says he had wounds on his hands which means he was crucified and died.

How am I an idiot?

Explain please.

The point is that the girl would have suffocated long before food or water became an issue.

My post was a poke at how people are so eager to believe these stories. They understand that people need food and water to survive, but fail to grasp that buried people need air more than anything.

You could say that God took care of the "air" part, but if so, why bother with the literal act of feeding through Jesus. God could have just provided sustenance to them invisibly, without needing to manisfest himself physically.

My whole point was to show that the desire of people to believe this tale blinds them to a true critical evaluation of the situation. Food and water are pointless when you have suffocated.

I may be wrong, but I understood that they believed he did not die on the cross but was taken down he was later raised to Heaven by God at the site in Jerusalem where the Mosque stands.

This belief was not uncommon amongst certain early Christians but was later declared a heresy.

Consequently, the presence of identifying wounds should not present any theological problems to the Mullahs.

However, I suspect they would want to make sure the story (if it exists) was verifiable before leaping in with any pronouncements - otherwise they could look very silly indeed.

I can&#39;t recall the exact percentages but Egypt has a sizeable (10%) Christian population - mostly Copts. Alexandria was one of the most important cities in the early church. The Copts have a long tradition and some of the oldest monastries in the World. They also believe in some quite surreal stuff. These people were not Copts by any chance?
