Christians. Have you tried walking on water?

Question

Do you have any plans to try?
What does it take and why?

Answer 1

I don't think it is meant to be taken literally for us at this moment. Although I believe God could do this for us there is just no reason for him to do this for Me. I have walked where I should have never been and lived . that had to be God

The surface tension of water at 20 C is approximately 0.07 N m-1 (Newtons per meter - or millinewtons per millimeter). The downward force exerted by an object is the product of its mass (in kg) and the gravitational acceleration (10 ms-2). The force exerted by my feet on the ground is therefore my mass (78 kg) multiplied by 10 = 780 N. If a large hydrophobic object such as a wax candle is placed on water, the surface film will break (and the surface tension will therefore 'fail') at the edges where the curvature of the surface film is greatest. The surface tension of water, 0.07 N m-1, tells us that a hydrophobic object weighing 0.07 Newtons (7 g) could rest on the surface film if the length of the edge contacting the surface were at least 1 m. Similarly, if the object weighed one thousandth of this (7 mg) the length of the contacting edge would have to be 1 mm. A large Gerris would have four feet contacting the surface, each with a contact perimeter of about 5 mm. Surface tension acting along the total length of 20 mm must therefore resist the animal's weight. A large Gerris has a mass of about 0.02 g or 0.20 mN (millinewtons, or thousandths of a Newton). The force per length is thus 0.20 mN per 20 mm or 0.01 mN mm-1. This is only one seventh of the force that the surface tension can withstand, so the pond skater easily avoids the danger of breaking through the surface film.

Answer 3

Not only Christians but everybody could walked on water and can swim on water provided the water is not deep as the ocean or sea.

We are not only trying but we are doing it and it takes as natural walked on land.

If what you mean is about the way Jesus walked on the water of an ocean, no human beings could do it because human beings have no power as Jesus has as God. Is it clear to you now.

Answer 4

Yes we used to do it all the time. When we were kids we used to line up by the swimming pool and and take a run and see how far we could get across the pool before we would sink, but none of us ever made it. Personally I think it was a miracle when Jesus did it.

Answer 5

Yeah, I sank. like a rock. it sucked.

But I have read an article on how this british magician(i think) tried to do it at the same place Jesus did, and he said it would have been impossible in those times. It took him 2 or 3 truckloads of equipment.

But, Criss Angel, Mindfreak magician did it in a pool. It was amazing.


I don't know about all that. But i can't do it.

Answer 6

I think A LOT about all the powers given to us by God. I would never dream of asking for that, I don't believe anybody is capable of receiving that perfect miracle given to Christ from His Father. We may want to be exactly perfect, like He is. But, we are not nor will we ever be exactly like Him!

Answer 7

Why would I? I'm not the Messiah. I quite enjoy swimming.

Are you planning on trying it out?

Answer 8

Jesus wasn't the only one. Peter did for a few moments, until he looked down.

(Does this mean Peter was an animated cartoon character?)

Answer 9

so here , in good old Minnesota people walk on water all the time ! ice fishing that is on frozen lakes!

Answer 10

I would love to, but there ain't no water on moon.
