>call yourself a devout Christian
it is a way of life, not a destination after having read a certain percentage of the bible.
doesn't matter.
God who suffered, knows suffering, experienced our suffering to unify with us and lead us to the way out.
We are invited to be cocreators and corulers for eternity.
That's a bigger story than the points you bring up.
Water (=death/chaos) pulls us all down and we never return.
He descended to Hell/Water/Chaos but rose above it. Mastered it. Walk on water.
So definitely in that sense he walked on water, but I wouldn't be suprised if it is literal as well because sometimes it is aethetically desireable to have literal fact point to a larger Truth.
