from the plate but adding more food to it instead?
as an offering or something like that?

the fact that they eat doesnt mean they didnt add something else in return. When we go camping with other friends we bring things and everyone eats everyone´s food

Scripture says the people were fed. That would imply they actually ate something.

#1. A miracle defies logic
#2. God gave Jesus authority over everything (except over God obviously).., and that authority included power over the laws of physics and nature. In other words, the laws that govern our world as we know it, and as we don't know it, were and are at Jesus disposal.
On the natural level - it would be like, as president, you can get things done no one else can.., because he has authority to make things happen.
On the supernatural level Jesus was and is only answerable to God, and as I already said.., could do what no other human could do.
Whether you believe that Jesus fed 5000 people with just a few fish and a few loafs of bread or not - you know what the principle of a miracle is .., and I refuse to believe that you are that stupid. I know better than that. Unless of course you are, in which case I offer my sincere sympathies.

When and where did they get all those fish from? How did they get so many and keep them in edible condition till it was time to eat? They had enough fish to feed 5000 people. People, with the fishing capabilities (or lack of) of that time in history, could not pull such a thing off. That's why this feeding is a miracle. Jesus made it possible...miracle.

Simple. As an avid sports fisherman all my life the fish grow when caught at an exceptionally fast rate. A two pounder can be a ten pounder within hours if the evidence is destroyed.
All fishermen are liars

I guess. Anything is possible. It doesn't say that people were adding to the plate though. If that were the case, I'm sure it would've said it. I'm not sure why anyone would offer fish as an offering but, whatever floats your boat.

I heard the theory that maybe the people saw Jesus trying to feed everyone and they emptied their pockets of hidden food. People back them must have carried fish and bread around, being as it was way before vending machines.

no they all ate and got full it was a miricle of God providing for them. Why cant people accept that God has the power to do such things? I could go on and on but I'll stop here.........

Everyone was full and the leftovers were more than what they started with. So, no.
May God Bless you.
