6:16 is actually referencing Exodus 17:2-7, where the Israelites, not far removed from seeing the miracles that God performed in Egypt, began to immediately doubt His existence because they were thirsty.
Really good post overall and this quoted part is consistent with what my thoughts are. Wanting water (and provisions as Squirrel put it) is not necessarily wrong, but these needs and appetites are used here to show how the Israelites broke down and turned away from God due to the desires of the flesh... as happens to nearly everyone in this world who faces one temptation or another.
And your discussion of Jesus covers that angle quite well, imho.

Thank you. I found your posts very insightful, and biblically sound as well. As you could probably surmise, SM is not searching for objective truth- as one cannot search for that which he believes he already possesses. He is an evangelist of atheism. That said, I encourage you to engage him whenever possible, as this is our duty according to 1 Peter 3:15. I enjoy my conversations with him. He is intelligent, and has a good sense of humor. He sometimes poses questions that require me to study the scripture more deeply, and from which I emerge with stronger faith and a deeper understanding. I appreciate that about him., though I know that’s not his intention. He is the modern day embodiment of Genesis 50:20. I also encourage you to add him to your prayer list.
