You put out there a fundamental strategic error that god "needs us" and then spend all this effort in the tactical weeds arguing about why Jesus asked for a drink. As if that m ...[text shortened]... er. You really ought to not do this. You made those claims and you've not backed down from them.

A little less fanfare and just tell me what I asked about.
Was Jesus thirsty at the well God in Christ in need for something from the Samaritan woman?
If no, why no ?
You put out there a fundamental strategic error that god "needs us" and then spend all this effort in the tactical weeds arguing about why Jesus asked for a drink. As if that moment, that incident somehow validates your error. God do not need us we need him. Period.

This was not the only point I made.
You said nothing about
Daniel praying at the risk of his very life because he felt that God had the need to be petitioned.
How come
Daniel didn't save himself so much threatening risk under the rationale that God didn't
NEED his petitions and prayers ?
Then there was the point of
John 15 the true vine and the abiding branches.
The Father - the husbandman seems to need the fruitful branches enough to prune them that they bear more fruit.
Then again I saw no comment from you on the loving father longing for his prodigal son to return. In his great love he yearned for the prodigal and watched for him to come home in
Luke 15.
You don't touch the need of the father representing God there ?
I do.
