See here's the problem. Instead of constructing good arguments, you're making rubbish ones that are exaggerated and very easily dismissed not just by Christians but by non-Christians as well.
The Bible doesn't imply that other people in other situations without Jesus physically present can walk across water.
Jesus tells his disciples they could move the mountains, a Christian could well argue that power was limited to the 12 since the Bible doesn't say other Christians will be able to do it also.
The Bible doesn't say you can drink poison and not be harmed it is an addition.
The Bible doesn't say that anyone but God can supply manna.
The Bible doesn't say you can heal people by touching them: It says you can heal daemon possession through prayer but it doesn't say that you can heal disease caused by other means.
And finally, you don't get to set the standard of proof just as a creationist doesn't get to set the standard of proof for evolution. A creationist will keep asking for the next in-between fossil every time you provide one; and your argument is no different. We're talking in this thread about whether there was a historical Jesus - not whether he was a supernatural being that channelled the power of the Holy Spirit.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
