Do you think there is a connection between the blood and water as commented in John and communion and baptism? I never thought of that before.

I believe that that is one of the reasons our RC friends mix water and wine. As I recall, Luther accepted the symbolism of adding water to the wine, but he had some negative comments also. As to what they were, my memory fails me.

That's interesting because I remember doing an internet serach for what wine was like in Biblical times and I remember reading that is was more water than wine. It was not the same drink we know as wine today. It was someting like 5 parts water to 1 part wine or something. One account I read had it at 9 parts water to 1 part wine.

We should also take into consideration that it wasn't actually water that came out of Christ's side. It was a pericardial fluid formed from the breakdown of carbon that built up because His body wasn't getting energy from oxygen. He wasn't getting oxygen because when you are hanging from your hands, you can't breathe. Aerobic respiration was becoming increasingly difficult and therefore the body couldn't get energy. The pericardial fluid was the byproduct of creating energy from carbon and would have come out when the spear went through Christ's side, through His lung and into His heart. There are much longer and more detailed accounts of this process, the best of which I have found in Lee Strobal's: "The Case for Christ." When given a play by play reenactment of what Christ went through from an anatomical perspective instead of a biblical perspective, I was left in awe because I had no idea how much more Jesus suffered than what was depicted in "Passion of the Christ"
