Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 27 2012,04:26)John 19:34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.Since “water” is a “clear fluid”, is this not an eye-witness account of clear fluid coming out of the side of Jesus?Who wrote John?Stuart

You would have to have an eyewitness actually write that he saw clear fluid…[Read more]
