Darrin;

He lacked faith and began to sink. When he remembered his faith, he walked. Plain and simple. Jesus is no magical figure.

Jesus is no magical figure?? Who calmed the Waters..... If that is not Magical I don't know what is..... Can you do that.............
Again you are down playing Jesus this is not Biblical.

The verse does not say he remembered his Faith. Also how in the heck do you remember Faith. You either have faith or don't have Faith it's not something you remember. If you have Faith in your Father (Earthly) I would find it hard to believe someone would have to remember it.

He was simply demonstrating truths that are timeless
He being Jesus may have been demonstrating truths but the timeless thing had nothing to do with the content of the verse.

Jesus was not holding him up, but letting him go to walk on his own, whether Peter knew it or not.

Right that goes back to the remembering faith scenario........
