My idea: giant stilts submerged underwater and excellent balance.

what, you don't know?
Jesus walk on the water, like moses open the see, like muhamad go to the sky, like fairy flies.
so, now you can find two options: either they had secret magic bank or they bullshit.

but I think there is simpler option: Jesus walk on the lake when all the water was full by riligion's wars victims.

If Jesus floats on water, he must be made of wood. What else do we do with wood?

Build a bridge out of Jesus!

The 'cave' was just a nickname for his bedroom. You know, dark, often smelly and sometimes full of smoke :eek:

Jesus is the messiah, why do you find it so hard to believe that God in the flesh would be able to defy the laws that he created? He walked on water to save the downing Peter.

If it was a metaphor then why did they go into detail of that day that would have nothing to do with a lesson or principal?

We know Jesus walked on water because the Bible tells us so.

Now, Jesus didn't float because he was made of wood- this we know because they nailed Him to the cross. Nailing a piece of wood to another piece of wood has largely no effect.

It is irrational that Jesus would have used stilts, because Book of Toys 9:11
says, in the section on Sex Toys, "Thou shalt not use any toy that [rest of text is missing.]" This rules out The Most Holy of All Holy Holy's use of stilts.

It is irrational that The Most Holy Hoo-Baah walked across because it was frozen; lakes in the Holy Land do not freeze (exept in the Book of Stilton Cheddar 3:1415926535897932384626433832795, and in the Psalm of the Lord's Arse.) Therefore we have ruled out this.

All of the other options are also irrational (Don't question this "or Yea, all those who have sinned shall be cast[text missing]r[text missing]ated.)

Jesus therefore walked on water by tying a pair of floating ducks onto His most holy Footsies and walking across.

QED.

what was the sea jesus walked on?

the dead sea.

what's special about it?

it's exceptionally high salt content, which makes it much denser than normal water, and <i>much</i> easier to float on.

all it took was the surface area of his divine feet to be slightly larger than normal and, hey presto, instant 'miracle'!

So Jesus probably wore clown shoes... which would suggest that he was a clown! :eek:

This reminds me of a joke about Jesus

###################
Jesus and Moses are up in Heaven, bullshitting like usual, when Jesus starts acting a bit embarrassed, ashamed even.

"Hey man," Moses says, "you can tell me what's up, we've been friends for a long time."

"Well, it's just that it's been a couple thousand years since I did my thing, and I've been wondering if I've still what it takes."

"Yeah, no problem J, we just go down and find out!"

So the two of them cruise down to Earth, and Moses, trying to sounds encouraging, says, "Okay, I'll go first." He walks to the water, spreads his arms, and BAM, parts the Red Sea. "Lookit that, no problem. I'm an old man, if I can do it, you can do it."

And Jesus stands up, walks to the water, and begins to walk on the surface of the Sea. After about three steps, however, he plunk sinks like a fucking rock.

So here's Jesus, swimming back to shore, pulling seaweed out of his hair, spitting out salt water, saying, "I'm only two thousand, I'm not that old! What's wrong, what's going on here?"

And Moses answers, "I think I figured it out. The last time you tried that, you didn't have those two holes in the bottom of your feet!"

Shallow water, long stilts, some sort of floating shoe, or he didn't really do it. Judea is in the middle of a desert; it's possible that someone saw him from afar walking around and the shimmer of the heat (plus the addlin effects of heat on the brain) caused them to think that he was walking on water.

It could also have been a pre-existing myth or legend that got applied to him ex post facto.

He could have done that silly David Blaine trick where he apparently 'levitates', by standing on one foot at a certain angle and distance away from the audience. Or something similar.

Wasn't it a bridge over a lake where only a high-priest or rabbi or something could stand and was referred to as "walking on water", then Jesus did it, defying those in power and the story dpreads and the metaphor is lost... or something...
