Hi Michael, Not that John needs me to defend him in any way but you are constructing your theology from one experience Jesus had with his disciples. I would suggest you re-read the story and ask yourself if the story is really about Jesus dissolving storms or if perhaps the story is

1) No verse speaks for itself. They all involve context and require interpretation. John is not throwing the verse out of his bible. John is claiming that you are mis-interpreting (intentionally) the verse. 2) Christ does not hold the covenant. Christ is the fulfillment of the covenant.
