And the Truth will set you free

Peter walked on the water, or at least it is written in the scriptures that Peter walked on the water. If a person believes that they are saved by faith then if they have faith, even a little, they should be able to walk on water like Peter did. It was only after Jesus caused the winds to become boisterous that Peter became afraid and begin to sink. Maybe those who can't walk on water are the ones referred unto in Matthew 7:21, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;"

Ironically, those who can't walk on water deny that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the voice of the Son of God since it written in John 5:25 that the the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live because they think they have faith because they choose to believe that they have faith, What is ironic is that when they say to him Lord Lord (to enter enter into the kingdom of heaven) is that when he professes that he never knew them, they can't even claim to have hope since it is written in John 5:25 that the the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
The walking on water in that parable was a one time supernatural event performed by God .

Yes spiritual dead born from above but not the literaly dead .Those twice dead know nothing thier memory has departed .

Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
A parable of the victors, who crossed over the Red sea.

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:
and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Revelation 15:2

And it shall come to pass,
as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan,
that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

Joshua 3:13

For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over,
as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which He dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty:
that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.

Joshua 4:23-24
 
“Jesus replied, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.’”

(John 14:6)

The truth will set you free. -> Jesus will set you free.

What truth? What truth did Jesus bring that would set them free?

Didn't they have the truth already? They had the scriptures. They had the Law.... They followed Moses-- so what was it they were being set free from?

When confronted by him, the Jews said they were already free. (John 8:33)

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they replied, “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”


It's a remarkable statement coming from a people group with a history that included captivity in Babylon and Egypt. What do you think they meant?

They were in bondage to sin and didn’t recognize and acknowledge it. What they meant is that Jesus isn’t the promised and prophesied Messiah.
