moren: so if 12 guys claimed to see some fella walking on water TODAY, would you believe it?
sirromu4u: you say you have heard the voice of god. Is it not possible that you were mistaken? If not, do you categorically belive every person that claims the same?

when religions run out of believers they become myths, sadly people still believe in jesus.

Silly child, science has proven that lightning is a natural phenomenon, and not caused by a "god" living on top of a mountain. Didn't they teach you that in school?
So Odin fought snakes? Big deal. Jesus fought the great dragon, himself, and won!
And Kukulcan built a city. Not so impressed, considering that mere humans have been building cities for several thousand years.
On the other hand, Jesus claims to be THE (yes, ladies and gentlemen, THE ONE AND THE ONLY) God of the Universe! AND, He proved it, when He got up and walked out of His tomb...and appeared before eye-witnesses...who later were willing to give up their LIVES for their faith...something Zues, Odin, or Kukulcan never managed to inspire in their followers...

Jesus is treated differently because he is the current God-fad of the people with the most money, guns, and power.
There is zero proof Jesus walked on water, just as there is zero proof that he ever lived at all.
There are zero contemporary accounts of anyone named Jesus or anyone resembling Jesus (according to tales the Bible tells). No one who might have actually known Jesus ever wrote a single word about him. We do not know when he was born or when he died. Even ‘Narzarus’ is not mentioned until after the time Jesus supposedly lived.
We have no descriptions of what he looked like. We do not have a single quote, not one word, of anything he might have said. None of the scribes who supposedly followed him, and none of the Jewish historians alive at the time mention him.
No local, civil, state, or national government records mention him. This includes Roman records and, specifically, anything written by, or on behalf of, Pontius Pilate. The supposed darkness that covered the earth upon his death is not mentioned by anyone anywhere in the world.
If Jesus was a real person, no one who knew him thought that his life was remarkable enough to mention. If Jesus was crucified, no one in Jerusalem or Rome appears to have known about it, or cared.

Jesus' miracles were seen by his 12 disciples and many other people, many of whom died for their claims that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, and the only One who could reconcile sinful man and a holy God. Jesus made the fantastic claim of being God in the flesh, the miracles he performed are not very noteworthy in comparison.
Zeus, Odin, and Kukulcan are not described in any records as having eyewitnesses, nor has their worship continued to this day.

To you this is correct but none of them other gods to speak to you. Jesus Christ does speak to me, I cannot speak as you do about him, because I have not heard the voice of Zeus, Kukulcan, or any other gods of this world. Also there were men that imagined these gods also, you should maybe look to them people rather than the God of the Christians or the Jews.
I do not believe Jesus walking on the water was as great a thing as Peter walking on water, this event shows us that great things God had for his children were not just for the gods, but for us here also. This is why Jesus said these words; Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
It is children that can have faith to do as they are told by God.
and Peter being the oldest of them had faith like a child; Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

If you need proof then you are not a believer, Hopefully you will acquire some faith
