Not only did Jesus walk on water but His disciple Peter as well.
Mat 14:25-34
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Then when He got in the boat with His disciples it miraculously appeared on the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
Jn 6:19-21
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
The two accounts complement each other perfectly even though Matthew didn't mention the boat miraculously appearing at its destination and John didn't mention Peter walking on water or the storm suddenly dying out.

and then died and was reborn

Jesus was not reborn. That's impossible! As Nicodemus said, "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" (Jn 3:4). He rose from the dead. And because He rose from the dead, we will one day too, at the resurrection.
1 Cor 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

and a god who created the world in 7 days

We don't believe God created the world in seven days. He created the world in
six days.
Ex 20:11a For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
