Um . . . whut? Sorry, cantor, but you just went WAY over my head somehow. Maybe I drop IQ points on the days I play for Mass. (uh oh!) Could you, maybe, rephrase that - - like you would explain it to a 12-year old, please? It sounds pretty but I don't quite follow . . .
Sorry, it's a Gwynnie thing.
The thing about Elijah ain't about feeding a real person firstly so much as it is about feeding Spirit, in the sense that before material consequence can be addressed immaterial consequence must be considered. Like if we're in a rush to feed our starving children we might just knock the neighbor upside the head and take his bread. Of course, that's the prophet spin on the deal.
The message that a representative of the church should be valued over family is also included for the skeptic.
All scripture, regardless of who spins it up, contains these inherent dualities.
