Disagreement with the analogy of water to faith[edit]
In the last part of this entry, it has the referenced quote,
"The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
Clearly, the analogy to water is to knowledge, awareness of truth, which is the glory of the Lord. Truth is the Living Water. The word - the Logos - is Living and Active, as clearly presented within the Ever-Moving Structure of Reality that Truth, the Logos, is. Andrew Boothe (talk) 04:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Are hydōr zōēs (water of life) and hydōr zōn (living water) not different terms/topics? Perhaps a single article could cover them even if they are different, if the sources affirm what's written in Water of Life (Christianity): "used in the context of living water" (that is, if this connection isn't an interpolation by an editor of Wikipedia).
Disagree that it should be merged. Judaism has it's own cultural and religious practices surrounding "living water" that are independent of and unrelated to Christianity, which came thousands of years later and has it's own complex history and mythologies. "Living water" has ceremonial uses to the Jewish people that Christianity draws from (such as baptismal rites being reflective of the mikvah), but does not replicate entirely. 2601:8C0:B02:9BC0:C8F3:53E2:F165:B391 (talk) 16:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
