How Did Christ Walk On Water??........

[Tim Myers]

I am sure this post will will go over like lead balloons and popcicles in Siberia, but I will submit it for everyone's disapproval anyway........


In the past, I have thought about the miracle of Christ walking on the water.....

And, I have thought to myself that He could have only walked upon the water in three possible ways.....

He either........

1. Miraculously changed the way gravity affected the physical weight and mass of His body.

2. Miraculously changed the physical properties of the water in the Sea of Galilee so that it would support His weight.

3. Miraculously changed the physical properties of His own body so that it was "light enough" to not sink into the water.

(Of course, there is a fourth alternative that He miraculously did all three simultaneously....)

Does this sound reasonably to any of you?

And does anyone think one of these three explanations might actually be (or, at least, sound) valid??

All three are viable. I was also thinking about this the other night, it is a tough question, but there need not be any scientific explanation for it. That is why it is a miracle, because in this case, the laws of physics were altered.

2. Miraculously changed the physical properties of the water in the Sea of Galilee so that it would support His weight.

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.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? - Matthew 14



Remember that Peter walked on the water... Until he saw the waters boisterous.

Jesus walked on water because He was and is God. The hows don't really matter and we may never have the answer to you rquestion but if it is important for us to know then God will tell us whe it is time for us to know.

Well miracle is the word we for an event which defied the laws of nature. It's a mystery, we don't know.

Here is how He did it:

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door

You never will get where you’re going
If you never get up on your feet
Come on, there’s a good tail wind blowing
A fast walking man is hard to beat

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door

If you want to change your direction
If your time of life is at hand
Well don’t be the rule be the exception
A good way to start is to stand

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door

Faith man...faith!

Jesus is the supreme example of faith.

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth." Mk. 9:23 (KJV)

If I had faith the size of a mustard seed, I too could walk on water, or raise the dead, or tell mountains to get up and go cast yourself in the sea.

Faith man...faith.

God Bless

Till all are one.

Rockytopva my brother - you were born too late. You have the kind of mind that would have been admirably suited to Scholasticism. If you haven't read Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica then you should go here without delay. Take a sandwich. You're going to have a wonderful time.

I don't really know that speculating on how the physics played out is really all that important. As Polycarp said above, it's a miracle and a mystery--and that's really okay.

"I don't really know that speculating on how the physics played out is really all that important."

Well, since Christ had a physical body in a physical world where He walked on physical water, defying the physical properties of gravity, I would say it is.........

How Did Christ Walk On Water??

He willed it just as He willed all of His other miracles.
