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?

The water falls around him without wetting him, if it rains hard enough it would look like a water bubble so yes.

Ah yes, the Lotus effect.

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?

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

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

How does he drink water? Is that why he needs to turn water to wine?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 5 days ago

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

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It would look cool under the rain

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 5 days ago

Reminds me of those wizards in Discworld who are raised on dehydrated water, and can thus hover on water due to how much they hate its existence

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because he could slip, and then become submerged.
Do you have any idea how slippery water is? Which is begging the question how one can walk on water when there is hardly any friction.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

Ah true. I guess he can just float then
