    He’d stand still, so effectively on a fixed point relative to the planet.
    Otherwise there’d be reports of him wobbling with the waves in that accurate and trustworthy book some randos wrote decades after he went back to his spaceship died…

    Also, is this an European river or African river?

    Does Jesus impart weight on the water at all? We have to assume not, because otherwise he would create a depression in it. This means he could stand on the flow coming out of a hosepipe that he himself is holding.

    With a long enough hosepipe he could fly over buildings.

    Someone should email the Vatican and ask. Not because I think they have the answer, just because I think it’d be funny.

    Probably stand still otherwise that walking on the sea part of the Bible would have been hilarious as Jesus flips all over the place in the waves as the disciples yell, “Oh shit! OH FUCK!”

    The answer to the question depends on if Jesus walks over water or on water. I think the idea of him not being able to bath without disabling his habilities is funnier so he would go down the river as if it were an icy slope, behaving as a drop of a highly hydrophobic substance.

      What happens if it rains? Does he ping pong off the raindrops into the sky or dose he get a water bubble around him?

          If hes in a bubble, but not above the water, he would be underwater. Meaning he would float to stand above his bubble if there’s enough water there, bringing the bubble with him keeping him underwater. So, he would shoot strait up like a rocket, or perhaps liftoff before the rain touches the ground…

          Is there an upper range on the power? What if a waterworld a billion light years away is directly overhead? Dose he travel to a surface faster than his human form could survive?

            Jesus instantly vaporizing because technically there is ice in mars and he gets shot up is really funny but I think he can turn off the power at will and adjust the range

            Even wine has water in it, along with most of his body.

            I feel like they did a bad job fleshing out the magic system, it’s full of plot holes like this.

      I can imagine the soles of his feet being hydrophobic, but I don’t see why the rest of him needs to be

      I mean, I figured it was more a case like Hercules where he’s half god and thus is human with superpowers.

        In the middle ages you would have burned at the stake for that heresy!
        Jesus isn’t half God, half man. He’s all God and all man, and there’s only one God.
        Therefore he’s also his own son, and he had to truly die (but only for 3 days) as a sacrifice to himself, to convince himself to forgive you for being the way he created you.
        Then he came back for a bit before his human body physically rose up to heaven, where he sits at his own side.
        But he’ll come back again very, very soon. He just didn’t get around to it in over 2000 years.
        Get it right!

          Well… he was made to be, for political reasons …after he died. I think the 1st council of nicea, 3rd century? Too lazy to look it up to be sure but Wikipedia has the transcript.

          In the middle ages you would have burned at the stake for that heresy!

          And ancient Judaism worshipped a mountain god creating spring water.

          Look… It’s only 1030 am here. I should not be as drunk as that explanation would require to understand at this time of day.

    How fast is the current?

    Is there a flow threshold where he does start moving, and is that threshold relativistic?
