That the biographers of Jesus tell us he made. That those who believed in him should not worry about food, clothing or drink that these would be attended to by great providence. Imagine what men and women would do with the time freed from mundane Labour. That they needn’t worry about housing.
It does seem to me, that every where we look, all christ cultists are busy looking for these necessities just like the rest of us. And if there are any who are not doing useful work, they know there are others who are doing the useful work for them.
Or maybe I misunderstood the promise and it is meant for a future life, at which time they wouldn’t need food or shelter.

Yes, I believe this passage is misinterpreted. Yeshua was an apocalyptic teacher, preaching the end of days was at hand, not off in some far off future but right in his time. “Pay no mind to the morrow” not food, clothing, family, children, nothing.
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Apparently, he was quite mistaken.

There’s tremendous suffering in this world, more than would allow me to tolerate a deity that intervenes in human affairs. This is how I became an atheist: 1) Read the Bible, THOROUGHLY. 2) Study HOW the Bible was written; when, by whom, how, etc. 3) Study HEBREW scripture that was SUPPOSED predict Yeshua’s coming. 4) Sit outside and lit up a good cigar and contemplate #’s 1, 2, & 3.
Voila! You’re an atheist!

I never got that far…..I was doubting right from the time I was a little girl…..questioning what I was told in the moron church, compared to what I was seeing day to day. The answers were very lacking, so as soon as I was introduced to library books, I read almost anything I could get my little mitts on.
The buybull bored me to tears so never got through much of it, & never tried again after getting older either.
I was pretty much out of it all by mid teens & finally told mother that I didn’t want to have to go to church anymore when I was 17.

Good for you! I wish it hadn’t taken me quite so long! I was in my late twenties when I just began my “search” and mid-thirties when I finally gave the Church my walking papers for good!

I was ex-communicated after 7 years of not showing up, telling phone callers, & door knockers I was NOT interested in going to church, to mutual society, to relief society, any of it, & to leave me alone. It took that long for them to ”get it”.

We had no phone number at that time, & no street address, just box numbers or general delivery. The only way I can figure is mother had to have blabbed where we were & how to send mail. Of course they had to say where the nearest church was, & even that was hours away from the logging town.

That is the power of brainwashing, especially at childhood. It is much more difficult for one to see the way and finally “let go.”

One could wishfully assume those had been times of plenty, without the burden of greed and monetary values. The more obvious case is, as it is with most of those religious texts; reality got lost in translation and morphed into fairy tales.

There is of course losses in translation over the ages. But there is also a case of day dreaming on the part of the religionists
