Surely you dont REALLY think it was Jesus walking on water.

But it looks like you believe in Jesus right? Or you seem interested hiding behind your defensive front.

The real question is this: if such a remarkable event occurred, why wasn't it recorded by all the evangelists?
Here's the real deal: at the time the gospels were written, people had a different concept of historiography than we do. They introduced non-factual elements into historical narrative in order to help the reader better understand the nature of the characters concerned. It was a kind of rhetorical flourish. It's not impossible that Jesus had some paranormal powers. But most of the "miracles" described in the gospels are attributable to the activity of the early church trying to justify their belief in his divine mission.

Surley I do believe Jesus was walking on water, and so was Peter until he took his unbelief took over, now if they were on the reed sea, why would Peter Cry out for Jesus to save him seems how the reed sea is only ankle deep?

Highly unlikely since the feat took place on the Sea of Galilee, several hundred miles away from the Ram Souf.

Interesting, was it also a reflection when Jesus told a disciple in the boat that he could also do it, and he stepped out of the boat and did? True, he began to sink when doubt entered his mind, but the fact remains that he did also as a non God, walked on water.
OH YOU OF SO LITTLE FAITH, I'M SORRY FOR YOU NOT TO KNOW THE JOYS OF GOD'S GOODNESS.

Haven't stranger things happened? The sun rises everyday directly over our heads and yet it doesn't fall to the earth cremating us instantly. The oceans stay put instead of over running the earth and drowning us all. Miracles are all around us but so many refuse to see them

Ever been in the desert and seen somebody walking out of a desert mirage, looks just like someone walking on water...

One day science may tell us how it was done and then we'll do it.
Jesus raised the dead with a touch of his hand. What, you never heard of CPR, a 50 year old technique using hands to restore life. Probably infantile and backwards compared to how Jesus might have done it, but the concept is similar.

How do you explain Peter walking on the water too (Matthew 14:29) ?

Wrong body of water. And your hypothesis hinges upon a mispelling of the English translation of the original Greek & Hebrew records...
Hmmm.....yeah......
