What you want as opposed to what you need is Truth Thanks Ye

Any male pastor who believes and teaches the Samaritan woman is spiritually dead to the core is spouting the candy-ass theology of the spiritually stunted Pro-Life version of the Bible and has serious gender issues arising from their ideological identification with Paul. Paul is a raging homosexual with sensitivities similar to Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams. Paul's "thorn in the flesh" is his hunger for young men about the age of John Mark on his first missionary with Barnabus. My guess is that Paul made a pass at John Mark and John Mark said "No!" by leaving. Paul fixed this issue by marrying TImothy, which is what that circumcision represented in the Greek culture. There is a whole subset of same-sex marriage in Greece that produced a far healthier gene pool than Israel's model, which was corrupted by Moses corruption of the Seventh Commandment. Before he destroyed the evidence, the Seventh Commandment read something like "Thou shalt not adulter the law to possess that which you covet of your neighbor". Moses was frightened by the uppity women celebrating the emancipation of their fertility with the worship of Yaweh in Utero. The Samaritan woman does not consider herself trash. She's on her way to get pregnant in the manner of Tamar in Genesis 38. Tamar, Ruth, Rahab, Uhriah's Wife, and the Samaritan woman are all self-sufficient and independent persons. Their uterus was their property and they exercised the right to choose who got the opportunity to extend their DNA a generation or two. This woman is not jewish. She has had children from five men and she wants another baby but her current partner isn't getting the job done, so her personal value system of polyandry isn't chained to some asshole Calvinist doctrine of what nice girls and faithful wives do who love Jesus, unlike the tribe of Planned Parenthood whores! Like Tamar, the Samaritan woman knew when she was most likely to get pregnant. She enjoys the process and the itch to get in a family way probably amplified a general readiness to fool around. She could have been a sex worker, like Rahab, but she liked her work and she was like Melina Mercouri as Ilya. And one of her most important features was that she created half-breeds through her polyandry, which produces a far healthier gene pool than the Orthodox Jewish model from antiquity and the white supremancist Pro-Life perversion of the Gosplels. It is essential to see the erotic qualities of the encounter. The dialogue has a certain French farce quality to it, which I think Jesus intentionally manufactures. The Samaritan woman has come to Jacob's Well loaded for bear, but there are protocols for these sort of encounters, especially between Samaritan women and Jewish males. There was always a pretty lively trade between good Jewish boys and gentile women in other villages. It was like Virginia white boys coming into DC for a little brown sugar, if you see what I mean, The Samaritan woman has made her intention known by coming out to the well in the middle of the day a quarter of a mile outside the perimeter of Sychar. These little villages ran pretty much like the modern Jewish kibbutz, which is to say, they were very socialist communities. And children were an essntial form of social security, especially for women. Being barren wasn't a luxury of the Cosmo ethic; it was a curse. The fact that a woman in this community might have occasion to visit a wayfarer's well in the middle of the day and miss all the gossip at sunset was her loss. Unless she got in a family way and showed up to do some bragging, So, nothing but pleasure lay in the immediate future of the Samaritan woman, The dialogue begins as a flirtation. If you understand that all the "Living Water" trope has one meaning for the woman, which is sex, it has both the meaning of sex and the spiritual qualities of salvation that Jesus is talking about. This starts out a little bit like Romeo and Juliet's duet on the balconey, but it becomes opera at John 4:26. In between, Jesus knows she misunderstands His references to "Living Water". I mean, from the very start, Jesus is making a sales pitch and the Samaritan woman, who is out to close the deal, is buying His pitch and is becoming increasingly aroused, until, in John 4:15, she buys His program and says, in effect "Let's fuck!". A way to look at this part of the dialogue is to put Jesus in the role of the girl in "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" and the Samaritan woman is the boy and he has rounded third and is heading home when Jesus says "Stop Right There. Before we go any further, do you love me". Jesus is a virgin. Jesus probably dies a virgin and it, His celibacy, is essential to His power in an Indian guru kind of way. Or George Kastanza becoming an intellectual super hero when he gave up sex. My only evidence of Jesus' virginity is His encounter with the woman with the chronic flow, who blind-sided Him and sucked power out of Him to effect her cure "immediately". My only explanation for this, given the miracle processes Jesus employed, is that Jesus had no idea before that moment what that plumbing represents for women. It expanded His understanding of the universal nature of His Word. In spite of this, or because of it, Jesus became incredibly charismatic after He was baptized. He could dial this up or down and Jesus dials it up all the way with the Samaritan woman, playing on the double-entredre of her expectations. And at this instant, He turns it off . Her response is, actually, comic :"I don't need no husband!" as in, Let's get it on. She's ready to go and the only reason she's here is because her body was ready to have a baby and her current partner was shooting blanks. He's the problem. I'm here to fix it. So, let's get it on. Then he tosses a bucket of cold water, figuratively, on the Samaritan woman's libido with her resume. She's not ashamed: she realizes she has encountered divinity in some way at Jacob's Well, What He forces her to focus on is her righteousness arising from her hunger for the Spiritual Water Jerusalem had ignored the week before. John 4:25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”. Into that vessel, Jesus directs the Spirit of the Lord to conceive a child. At John 4:26, Jesus makes her pregnent like the Holy Ghost made His mother pregnant. An example of immaculate conception, like Sarah's pregnance. The opera ends then, and the Disciples kill the mood and she breaks away, leaving her bottle behind and she dances back to the village like Natalie Merchant wiggling around the stage to Kind and Generous. This chapter happens nearly in real time up to the point where the village begins to seek out Jesus at the well. The idea that this woman, if she was the outcast she is charactized by Calvinists, could mobilize the village in this manner is laughable. She was a values member of that society and they were will to believe her witness sufficiently to go see for themselves. Living together and marriage are not the same thing. Her life was full before she met Jesus, He validated her lifestyle.
