Your response "sounds good" but fails with understanding the context and meaning of logically impossible or logically contradictory for God.

The walking on the water is a miracle that is based on one's faith (Peter) and Jesus' Lordship and ruler of time, matter and space to include the earth. When examined further walking on the water for Jesus his not a logical contradiction since he has the ability to control water (the elements of the earth (matter), time and space). He turned water into wine, quieted a raging storm on the sea with his words, etc. He's the Logos - the Word of God in Incarnate. The same word that formed the earth and everything in it.

So, Jesus walking is not the rub for many, but maybe Peter's walking is a point of contention for some - that may appear to be the logically impossible or logical contradictory for God. But that isn't a contradiction either because one Peter asked Jesus to call him out the boat the responsibility of the providing the means to walk on the water fell to the Logos of God - the ruler of time, matter and space. Jesus allows Peter to walk on the water because of Jesus controlled the path and that path affirmed peters faith in Jesus. Peter only began to sink when his faith was drawn away by the circumstances, so Jesus allowed him to sink as a means of reinforcing the message that Peter could do anything if he maintained his faith in Jesus' provision and support for everything that He called/ instructed Peter to do in this eath.
