ON the Cross Jesus got speared in the side, Do you think this is because Eve was made from Adam's Rib ?

Question

and she was Decieved by Satan first?


I don't know why this came into my thought, but thought I would ask...

I understand the part about the Blood and Water that came out, just got another thought , and was wondering about it.

Answer 1

No.

He was pierced in his side to fulfill the prophecy that indicated that he would have no broken bones.

If he hadn't died ffom the spear, then the soldiers would have broke his legs.

Answer 2

BY NOW it is late Friday afternoon, and the Sabbath of Nisan 15 will begin at sundown. Jesus’ dead body hangs limp on the stake, but the two robbers alongside him are still alive. Friday afternoon is called Preparation because this is when people prepare meals and complete any other pressing work that cannot wait until after the Sabbath.

The Sabbath soon to begin is not only a regular Sabbath (the seventh day of the week) but also a double, or “great,” Sabbath. It is called this because Nisan 15, which is the first day of the seven-day Festival of Unfermented Cakes (and is always a Sabbath, no matter on what day of the week it comes), falls on the same day as the regular Sabbath.

According to God’s Law, bodies are not to be left hanging on a stake overnight. So the Jews ask Pilate that the death of those being executed be hastened by breaking their legs. The soldiers, therefore, break the legs of the two robbers. But since Jesus appears to be dead, his legs are not broken. This fulfills the scripture: “Not a bone of his will be crushed.”

However, to remove any doubt that Jesus is really dead, one of the soldiers jabs a spear into his side. The spear pierces the region of his heart, and immediately blood and water come out. The apostle John, who is an eyewitness, reports that this fulfills another scripture: “They will look to the One whom they pierced.”
(and BTW, Jesus was executed on a "stauros"[Greek] which means 'stake'. Look it up in Strong's).

Answer 3

No, I've never though about that before, but that's a very interesting fact. Hmmmmm, I wonder what that's all about. I was watching the Count of Monte Cristo today, and there's a scene in there where the guy who plays Jesus in The Passion is in prison and another guy tunnels through the floor into his cell. The guy that comes through the floor looks like Dumbledor from Harry Potter, and I laughed sooo hard. It was like Jesus and Dumbledor were planning to escape from prison. LOL! Anyway back to your not-really-a-question. Um, yeah that's very interesting, however I assume it's merely a coincedence. Why would the people persecuting Jesus plan to stab him in the ribs as a symbol? Still very peculiar. I shall look into it.

Answer 4

The story of Adam is this...
He was hungry one day. He made a meal of barbequed spare-ribs. Yes Adam was a Southerner.
Adam passed out from too much Jack Daniels.

God looked down and saw Adam passed out colder than ice.
He said to self, "Let me make a woman to pester him , so he won't be getting all these DUI'S ."
God took Adam's meal of spare ribs , and transformed them into Eve.
Adam loved spare ribs, and loved Eve because that was what she was made of. Men have loved women ever since.

Answer 5

No because in the original creation story (the one in the Torah in Hebrew) Eve was made from Adam's SIDE, not rib. They were equal....

Answer 6

This was common practice back then. The soldier would spear the one on the cross to see if he was dead or not. If dead, he would be taken down. It fulfills a prophecy; i.e., no bones were broken.

Answer 7

That's fiction and torture for you. Hang somebody up and stick 'em with sharp things.

Ever see Hostel?

Answer 8

I don't see why that isn't a good point....
It certainly has the sound of symbolism...
Which is where all religious rambling comes from...

Answer 9

I've never heard this theory, would be highly doubtful.

Answer 10

It was to see if he was dead.
