I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Is mana spiritual?

Yes manna is definitely spiritual, i can confidently say yes because Jesus likened manna to he being the bread of life. "I am the bread of life," Jesus said to the Jews. "Your forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness and yet died. . . . I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever . . . The bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world." (John 6:48-51) Literal bread or manna did not and cannot give everlasting life.

Why did jesus say you cant live on bread alone?

When Jesus said this when he said "bread" he meant food. You CAN live on food through this mortal life but when you come face to face with your creator and father, what will you do? What will you say that will let you in? "Oh God I got strait A's in high school," "God I was great at football." Do you think he will say "oh your cool come on in"? You WILL die spiritually and eating bread will not help. Jesus is the bread of LIFE and is our bridge to heaven. I hope this answered your question and every word that was written here was TRUE and from the Bible. If anyone wants to pose an argument I GUARANTEE that I would win, for the scripture is God's breathed word.
