**emphasis** added.
And so we **know** through our hunger for food now that we're being
blessed by GOD now according to what's written in red&white at Luke
6:21 which are indeed words from the mouth of the LORD.
Indeed, man with "bread only" and no hunger (i.e. no ability to eat
the bread) will surely die.
> And this was learnt and shown by Jesus in Matt. 4:3-4. Do you agree?
You skipped Matt 4:2 where it's written that Jesus is hungry.
Jesus teaching us that though He desires to eat food that this does
not mean He needs to eat food (GOD has no needs) is Wonderful (Isaiah
9:6).
It's written that we don't fast while the LORD is with (Matthew
28:19-20) us.
Indeed, holding to 32 ounces (Revelation 6:6) of daily (Exodus 16:16)
food is, in fact, **not** fasting (i.e. 0 ounces of daily food).
> God has also sent famine and made cannibals of the Israelis in the past.
Israel's Prophet Ezekiel held himself to 20 shekels (4 ounces) of
daily food (sprouted grain cooked over cowchips) for two years to
teach that being cannibal (2 Kings 6:29) during famine is being
profane (Hebrews 12:16) like
http://bit.ly/BiblicalEsau (Genesis
25:32) whom GOD hates (Malachi 1:2-3).
This also teaches us that holding to the right daily amount (32 ounces
per Revelation 6:6) is far from either famine (4 ounces per Ezekiel)
or starvation (0 ounces per definition).

Again, it is written that it is GOD Who causes (Deuteronomy 8:3) us to
hunger when He blesses us now (Luke 6:21).
Nowhere in Scripture is it written that a demon causes hunger much
less blesses.

The mind isn't working when someone is sick and it's written that the
human heart (Matthew 15:19) deceives (Jeremiah 17:9).

Hunger really isn't starvation.

It is written that the antichrist is already in this world so that
there's no reason to think that something is going to become the
antichrist.

Actually, you've already written earlier as archived by Google that
you are "wonderfully hungry" so that we know that you can.
Those who really can't say/write that they're "wonderfully hungry" are
perishing either because they need to "born again" (John 3:3-5) or are
eternally condemned (Mark 3:29).

Saying/writing that we're "wonderfully hungry" is not an incantation.
Instead, for those of us who are living instead of dying, it's really
the only absolutely correct answer to the greeting "How are you ?"
The more common answer, which is "good," is the absolutely most
incorrect answer for it's written that only GOD is good (Matthew
19:17).

Again, I share with you that your being able to write/post here on
Usenet does indicate you also have the more fundamental ability to eat
food.
So again, I really advise a 4th time here that you, Madhu, **really**
