nope, you're just living in denial. Enjoy the blindfold.

It has often been said, "Jesus is the only person to have ever walked upon water!" Lack of belief He walked upon water does not determine whether He did or not. Belief it is physically impossible for mankind to walk upon water does not determine whether He did or not neither, just as the inverse does not make it true for anyone but those who do believe.
Interestingly, Peter could not believe it was the Lord also. He cried out if it be the Lord to bid him to get out of the boat and walk on the water also. According to that scripture the Lord did so, and Peter walked for a few steps on the water. Interestingly too, when his own belief failed him, he "began to sink."
Now I have spent many many hours out on the water in surface craft of all sizes. Very few such crafts make it easy to get out to even try to walk upon the water, much less that vessel so long ago. Imagine, not the Lord, but Peter, sitting on the gunnel, putting feet on the water and standing up!!!! He didn't begin to sink then. Rather, when he put his eyes on that which was all he knew about water, he "began to sink.'
It takes some pretty confident people in their own belief about God and creation to deny that the one by whom creation came to be, has no power over that creation. On the other hand, it takes some pretty confident people in their own belief about God and creation to believe the one by whom creation came to be has power over that creation. I know in Whom I have believed, and have committed myself to Him against that day, and prefer that belief over the alternatives. But then, I believe the Lord raised Himself from the dead, too, another absolutely total impossibility with mankind...yes?
Sincerely,
Dennis Jacobsen

]I think it is a disgrace to humanity the way that those protestants and catholics treated the workers in 1900 in Ireland. What was their problems anyways? Couldn't they put up with the idea that their organizations were corrupted up to their necks ?? Just wondering what it was that caused them to get their undies bunched up. ;D I would hope that I would have listened to what they were saying, instead of throwing stonnes at them. [/quote] They {catholics and protestants} did not like those workers very much , huh? Maybe they felt threatened?
