why is the crucified christ have a cut over his liver

The Image of The Divine Mercy
In 1931, our Lord appeared to St. Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the Heart, from where two large rays came forth, one red and the other pale. She gazed intently at the Lord in silence, her soul filled with awe, but also with great joy. Jesus said to her:

Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory (Diary, 47, 48). I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You (327). I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47).

At the request of her spiritual director, St. Faustina asked the Lord about the meaning of the rays in the image. She heard these words in reply:

The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him (299). By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works (742).

there are many references to the living water. here's one:

John Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman

4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.

4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17 “I have no husband,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just of god will not lay hold of him hand??

i know its a parable and metaphor...........but i feel theres a code in this

Yep.

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39

Scriptures refers to the Old Testament because that is all there was when Yeshua was here.

yea i read the old testament when i was a kid.......but i only took it at a literal level at the time

Yeah the old and the new testament are fully entwined.

parable, sort of.
Jesus could not reveal openly who He was for a variety of reasons.
timing issues, among other things.

dramatic effect.

it is widely said the cut is supposed to represent a vagina

rebirth?

A very interesting book on that subject:

Ok the poster obviously wrote water instead of using the correct medical term. No need to laugh.

SEE? ITS MATH.

:-/

A roman soldier stabbed JESUS in the THIGH< not the chest, so he would not be killed by the stab. He did NOT die on the cross, he was only in a coma and he lived and the bible says so, but people misinterpret it as a resurrection. It was not, there was no resurrection, its a church LIE.

He told his people he would come out on the 3rd day and only be in a coma. His last supper is also fraudulently reported. YOu can learn the truth here:

Thread: Teaching by Candace/God Loves All

the painting are NOT of those times,, the paintings, are based only on statements in the bible which are not fully truth. I guess I did not add, that there was another who was also crucified, from the same planet as Esu (Jesus), and that person was confused as being Jesus. That person was pierced according to custom, in the chest. I posted a link to the thread with that detail in it.

under the oxford companion to the body in the article it says that the body is composed of foue elements ........blood,phlegm,yellow bile and black bile.hmmm

all right ill checkemout

There's more stuff there too.

Pagan charges concerning the eucharist embarrassed the early Christians, who found themselves accused of consuming human flesh and blood. By a grim irony, such baseless accusations were later directed against the Jews of medieval Europe. Malicious preachers, ignorant rabble-rousers, and vindictive Jewish apostates exploited popular fear and superstition, alleging that the blood of a Christian child was an essential ingredient in certain Jewish rites. Furthermore, the periodic coincidence of Easter with Passover led to "ritual murder" charges that pursued Jews down the ages. It was thus alleged that Christian blood was used in the preparation of unleavened bread and wine for the Passover Seder. Despite the efforts made by popes, emperors, and enlightened scholars to refute these lies, agitators down to the 20th century utilized the disappearance or unsolved murder of a Christian child for the propagation of miracle tales, the torture, execution, or wholesale massacre of innocent Jews, and the confiscation of their property.
