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.
True but the historical Jesus has never been proven either.
Was there one, maybe, but there is no more proof for an actual non-magical Jesus as there is for a non-magical Harry Potter.
So it comes down to a matter of opinion and not a matter of fact.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
