Did Jesus Really Walk on Water?

Question

Thanks Pheonix

Answer 1

Yes He did. And there is also enough proof of His existence for "man" to be satisfied by historians and writers of His day. Now for the "weatherman" answer above. What part of this do you and those scientists not understand???....
24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

If there is ice....there are no waves!!!!!!!! Further proof secular scientists are misleading the public, and the public can't think for themselves.

Answer 2

Despite scientific evidence or arguement to the contrary, whether or not Jesus walked on water is irrelevant to the question: could he do so in the first place? If he could not, then the story is apocryphal and therefore a myth. However, if it is possible, one can then say 'why not'.

Walking on water is not as 'miraculous' or 'impossible' as people believe. This is because it is something not denied by the laws of physics. More precisely, it is not that people cannot walk on water, it is that they do not know how.

This is because walking on water requires a simple yet fundamental application of physics: water is a liquid, and all liquids have a surface tension. Unlike solids, a liquid's molecular structure allows for a greater fluidity and movement to occur within the object's area. Where as stepping on a concrete block, because the molecules are much more rigidly bonded, means that the block does not shift except downwards (the extra force of gravity caused by you), stepping into water, because the molecules are lightly bonded, allows you to immerse yourself into the substance.

Now, as to walking on water (or any liquid surface) the answer should be obvious: do not exert a force against the surface tension of the liquid greater than the amount of force it can sustain. What Jesus did was concentrate the elecro-magnetic energy of his body to resist the pressure of gravity, so that the amount of pressure he placed upon the water was less than the amount needed to push through. Consequently, like water bugs, insects, and any other object that has a low threshold of gravity, he did not sink and was able to walk along the its surface like any other.

Because he could do this, and because he didn't go into the technical details of how and why he did it, like an audience watching a magic show, everything seemed 'impossible'.

How does one's belief in oneself manifest; through the laws of nature. A gymnast who mentally imagines themselves doing a tumbling routine perfectly beforehand, synchronizes their body instinctually. They don't think "well I need to accelerate to a speed of 15.2 mph, before leaping at a 27.6 degree angel, twisting along a 14 degree arc with a combined force of 18 m/s^2 in order to account for the sudden diminishing of velocity...." They don't worry about the minutae of the details, they worry about landing that twisting one and a half backflip, but that doesn't mean that detail doesn't exist. Same thing with biblical miracles. Just because we can't (or don't know how) to do something doesn't mean it can't be done.

Answer 3

Sure he did. If he really existed of course.

Recently various weather scientists noticed that the sea he was to have walked on, gets really cold and has ice form on it. They noticed that the ice often drops down about one quarter of an inch to one inch under the surface of the water. They actually had people walking on ice during the experiments.

2000 years ago, it got colder there than it does now as well, and the phenomena would have occurred more often.

And no one can say that Ice is not a form of water, can they?

Answer 4

John 6:19 says:

When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.

Answer 5

Yes because the Bible says in john 6:19 that when there fore they had rowed about three or four miles they beheld Jesus walking on the sea. and drewing near to the boat and they were frightened . then verse 20 says that.he said to them it is I do not be afraid. i hope that will answer your question.if the bible says that it is true.then it is true. no matter what man my say about it . God bless

Answer 6

Yup

Answer 7

Jesus did perform many miracles while he was here on earth, but walking on water was not one of them. That was a dream of the apostle Simon Peter.

**************************************************
4. SIMON PETER'S NIGHT VISION

152:4.1 The apostles, without their Master -- sent off by themselves -- entered the boat and in silence began to row toward Bethsaida on the western shore of the lake. None of the twelve was so crushed and downcast as Simon Peter. Hardly a word was spoken; they were all thinking of the Master alone in the hills. Had he forsaken them? He had never before sent them all away and refused to go with them. What could all this mean?

152:4.2 Darkness descended upon them, for there had arisen a strong and contrary wind which made progress almost impossible. As the hours of darkness and hard rowing passed, Peter grew weary and fell into a deep sleep of exhaustion. Andrew and James put him to rest on the cushioned seat in the stern of the boat. While the other apostles toiled against the wind and the waves, Peter dreamed a dream; he saw a vision of Jesus coming to them walking on the sea. When the Master seemed to walk on by the boat, Peter cried out, "Save us, Master, save us." And those who were in the rear of the boat heard him say some of these words. As this apparition of the night season continued in Peter's mind, he dreamed that he heard Jesus say: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." This was like the balm of Gilead to Peter's disturbed soul; it soothed his troubled spirit, so that (in his dream) he cried out to the Master: "Lord, if it really is you, bid me come and walk with you on the water." And when Peter started to walk upon the water, the boisterous waves frightened him, and as he was about to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" And many of the twelve heard him utter this cry. Then Peter dreamed that Jesus came to the rescue and, stretching forth his hand, took hold and lifted him up, saying: "O, you of little faith, wherefore did you doubt?"

152:4.3 In connection with the latter part of his dream Peter arose from the seat whereon he slept and actually stepped overboard and into the water. And he awakened from his dream as Andrew, James, and John reached down and pulled him out of the sea.

152:4.4 To Peter this experience was always real. He sincerely believed that Jesus came to them that night. He only partially convinced John Mark, which explains why Mark left a portion of the story out of his narrative. Luke, the physician, who made careful search into these matters, concluded that the episode was a vision of Peter's and therefore refused to give place to this story in the preparation of his narrative.

Maybe, but there is only written proof.
