and from Jesus' dead (sleeping) body on the cross the spear point went into his side and the blood came out that made his bride the Church?

Actually it is even greater than what you know! For in the garden God saw Man and said that it was not good for man to be alone so he put him in a deep sleep. and from mans side, not just a rib his side, I truly see it as God took a portion of Adam's side that which included part of his spirit and physical heart and made woman for she was taken out of man. So that when Adam awoke and saw Eve, he said "wo-man" "just kidding" but that he knew instantaneously exactly what portions God had used to create Eve, and he was drawn to her to be "one again" united again. So the two became "one flesh" in the act of marriage again. So we take that to the cross where the Second Adam was pierced in the same side, in the same heart and out flowed water and blood. Thus the spiritual bride was formed in the same way "we became one with God in spirit by the new birth" "we became one flesh with God" "we became bone of his bone (christ's nature) flesh of his flesh" (Christ's physical representation)

That's not an analogy, that's what happened according to the scriptures....with God forming Eve from one of Adam's ribs. I don't know where in the world you came up with the other part about the blood from Jesus' body making "his bride the Church". That's just ridiculous.

I remembering learning in Catholic school growing up that Eve was created from the rib of Adam. I believe it may be in the Bible as well. Though, I never ever heard the spear in Jesus' dead body thing.

Genesis in one story of creation (there are two) says that God formed the woman out of a rib taken from the man while he was sleeping.
When Jesus was crucified and the soldier pieced his side with a lance, there "flowed out blood and water." The blood and water are symbols of the Eucharist (blood) and Baptism (water).

Yea, ain't it a hoot? People will believe anything even jewish fairytales like the bible and everything Hollywood puts out. We have been duped by these ancients way too long.
