>>So is Scripture saying that when the seed (the Word of God) fell upon God Himself ('there is no other Rock'), that God (the "water of life") could not sustain His own Word due to lack of moisture?<<

I suppose when one can't discern between when it's being used as a metaphor and when it's being used literally that would make sense.

And in Luke 8:6 is scripture talking about actual seed falling upon an actual stony surface? Or it is a metaphor for the Word of God not being sustained in those who do not persevere till then end?

Hint: "Rock" is used as a metaphor in Is. 51, Matt. 16, Luke 8:6, and 1 Cor. 10. Can you not discern that?
