Thanks for posting.

I find it interesting that Peter's statement (perhaps it was more of a request) that all Jesus had to do was speak Peter to walk on water and he would do it.

Did you know it’s impossible to know a falsehood? According to traditional philosophy.

So you can’t know your statement in the post.

Jesus’ command for them to stop being afraid contains within it the revelatory “I Am.” Peter responds with words of faith, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” At Jesus’ command to come, Peter indeed does walk on the water, but when he takes his eyes off Jesus, he begins to sink and cries out ...
