A Unitarian author, Henry Gow, writes that " Jesus was not born of a virgin, he did not work miracles over Nature, or raise the dead. In so far as he healed the sick, it was in consequence of human powers of love and faith which are not yet fully understood, but which, so far as He really possessed them, must be regarded as entirely human." (Freedom and Truth, p. 226).
If this writer read the four Gospels with their ample record of the miracles our Lord performed, with his views he must deny that our Lord turned water into wine in a moment of time (John 2: I-II). That was surely a miracle beyond the reach of human powers. He must also deny that our Lord multiplied five loaves and two small fishes, thereby satisfying the hunger of five thousand men, besides women and children (Matt. 14:21). In all the history of mankind was it ever heard that a mere handful of food could be so multiplied? Was this not above nature?
Among the miracles, the Unitarian writer says our Lord did not do, was that of raising the dead. He must deny then the story of the Roman Centurion's daughter being raised to life again (Matt. 9:18,22-26). He must likewise deny that the widow of Nain's son, as he was being carried to his burial, was at the word of our Lord restored to life again (Luke 7:12-17). Above all, take the case of the raising of Lazarus, dead already four days, and putrefaction setting in, He must deny that our Lord restored him to life again to the great joy of his sorrowing sisters (John 2:1-46). We wonder at the bold effrontery, that tells us that our Lord did not raise the dead.
We are told that the miracles our Lord performed were " entirely human." This is most evidently not true. The writer has often said, that when so-called Divine Healers, Christian Scientists, Mormons, Pentecostalites, Roman Catholics at Lourdes, etc., can give proof of their claims of divine healing by restoring a severed limb in a moment of time, leaving no trace of the operation, even if it were so small a part of the human body as an ear, he will immediately recognize their claims. Malchus' ear is a test case, not yet emulated by any of our present-day so-called Divine Healers. Our Lord performed this miracle (Luke 22:50,51). Was that miracle " entirely human "? We have not heard of these self-named Divine Healers rushing to the battlefields, and restoring severed limbs to the mutilated.
