it would have been inconceivable for him to be a messenger who was defeated; how, then, could he possibly be a defeated, crucified Lord?!
Seventeenth Point
They say, “He performed the miracles through his divine nature, but manifested weakness through his human nature.”
We reply: Allah has wrought miracles greater than those that appeared at the hands of the Messiah—peace be upon him—without uniting with any human being at all. What possible need, then, would He have to unite with humanity in order to produce lesser miracles?
Eighteenth Point
Miracles did indeed occur at the hands of the Messiah, just as they occurred at the hands of the other messengers, and the miracles of some of them were greater than his. Yet never were such miracles taken as proof that the Godhead had united with the prophet through whose hands they appeared. It is therefore patently unsound to infer any union of the Godhead from the mere occurrence of miracles.
Nineteenth Point
If the divine nature were truly united with the human nature, its actions could not be distinguished from the actions of that humanity; once the two have become one, every deed—whether weakness or wonder—would belong to that single entity. This is analogous to the examples they themselves give: fire joined to iron, or water mixed with milk or wine.
