Talking to believers here, not debating atheists, naturally......haha, let's see how much that is respected!!!!! We could, of course ignore them, and talk amongst ourselves....yes, lets!!!
Novel idea, since there are plenty of other places to engage with them.

I see many reasons why Jesus walked on water...you?

To convince His disciples He was the Son of God.

Is this like those, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes.

Why did Jesus walk on water? To prove he wasn't chicken.
Why did Jesus walk on water? To get to the other side of the lake.
Why did Jesus walk on water? To go visit the village idiot. Knock knock. Who's there? Jesus.


Okay, just playing, obviously. What reasons do you see, MissH?

yes to prove to the disciples he had his Father's keys to creation and all of the elements of creation..
and he definitely has those keys and knows how to use them too . wow !! one day I told him
that Pinocchio was not a real boy because I had freaked out about something I saw........ later that two boys show up and both are about 3 1/2 feet tall and on a smaller four wheeler... they stopped at me and asked me about my puppy.. they then went past me and went 100 feet and I watched them . .. by the time they turned around and got back to me again and on that same 4 wheeler they both had grown at least 6 inches... and as I followed in my car to get the puppy( great Pyrenees that was born with our sheep) of ours they found and one of the two boys entered a house at about 5ft tall and came out nearly 6ft tall all in a matter of about 5 minutes for the total story . I about couldn't speak after that .. just told the Lord " I'm sorry...Pinocchio was a real boy and I was sorry for hurting his feelings , and it was I who probably wasn't real " , because the 6ft boy was almost crying and could barely talk to me and couldn't look at me. so I knew he was hurt.
Pinocchio is a realler boy than we are and knows how to use the laws of what we think of as reality... which isn't real... our reality is just a bunch of laws created by their( Father and Sons ) words and breath . Laws they can alter by those same words and breath. He will do this because he knows the laws of and has the keys of creation .

Mic 1:4
The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
I've been convinced he will do this !!
only because he wants us to be as real as he is and with him in his Father's kingdom and live in a more productive earth so that we have more time to play and ride 4 wheelers and boats and such.

To prove that he has power over all things, even the water and air obey him. That is the reason I think Jesus walked on water. Some people see the scripture in a symbolic light -- walking on the water as being "peoples" which I have considered.

So Joe of Cupertino would levitate and pray at the same time ?. Do you think the churches would be ok with this today if he said let us pray and the next minute he's hovering above you, or would they say it's some Eastern religious practice ?.
