If you read Numbers 20 or Exodus 17 you will see a picture of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Moses strikes the rock with a rod and water came out.
Throughout the scriptures God likens Himself as a solid Rock. Isaiah 44:8, Psalm 18:31, Psalm 18:46 Jesus Christ Himself is considered the "chief cornerstone". Acts 4:10-11
Thus when Moses struck the rock this was a picture of how Jesus was smitten for our sins and transgressions that eternal life may freely flow from Him.
Water in the scriptures is symbolic of the gospel that gives eternal life. John 4, Ephesians 5:25-26 Thus through the death of Christ comes forth the gospel of eternal salvation that all may freely partake and live.
Notice that in the scriptures water came out of Christ after the crucifixion. John 19:33-35 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

The psalmist wrote:
"Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;
My ears You have opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
Then I said, "Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
I delight to do Your will, O my God;
Your Law is within my heart."
Psalm 40:6-8
The author of the Letter to the Hebrews interprets this as referring to Jesus Christ.

Not a question. And originally the Bible was completely pure but king Constantine changed it with his Click of scribes. For the original New Testament google gospelofthenazirenes.com For sincere seekers of Pure truth. Not the roman governments version as you read from.

Well written. However, the people you are trying to convince are far more interested in the DaVinci Code and spurious bible codes. They are far more willing to accept what Carl Sagan said than what Christ said. To them, eternal life and fellowship with the Father is a pipe dream.

Of course. It's all so clear now! Why haven't I seen this before?
Alright all YOU evil heathens!
Repent!
Or I'll smother you all with carefully chosen biblical phrases designed not only to show you the errors of your evil way, but also so that my great and all powerful and glorious lord god of holy in heaven, blessed is he almighty saviour in christ and holy matrimony and all that stuff will hear my glorification of his name and grant me passage to his great and glorious kingdom!!!

the bible has been shown to be un original and by man, for man
so are you saying Man is Devine, like Humanists do?
controlling the masses with mind control and guilt is easier than military might and taxations, laws and logistics

Yes, and the Jews, who's Holy Book [OT] you are quoting has a different interpretation. Hmm. Who should I believe.
I'd go with the owner's.

Again, the bible conveniently "proves" itself.
Nonsense.
