A story of faith, generates a lot of discussion among those who don't believe in the Bible, in this case, I'm talking about the biblical passage of Jacob, so let's go to the passage:
Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted. Genesis 30:37-39
According to biology, this would be completely impossible, but for God there are no limits, if He wants it,

it can happen, just as something totally supernatural can happen in your life, if you just believe.
2 – Walking on water;
Now let's go to the New Testament, in a well-known passage that is the verses that speak of when Jesus walked on water, let's go to the verses:
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in

fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
MIRACLES– 9
Matthew 14:22-36
There have been cases of pastors claiming that they will prove the power of God and try to walk on water without knowing how to swim, and some have even died, but that does not mean that the message of the bible is not true, this is because these men simply wanted to appear, and these attitudes would not glorify God at all. Think about it, if a pastor walks on water and films this, you can be sure he would become a celebrity and his name would appear more than the name of Jesus, but it's good to remember that the word of God says:
Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "" Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' ""
MIRACLES– 10
Matthew 4:5-7
There in these verses it clearly says that we should not tempt God, and in the case of the pastor who could not swim and died trying to walk on water, he was exactly tempting God.
