Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.--James i, 2. In the same way it could be proven by the bible that Jesus worked miracles of every description to inspire faith in his mission, and from the same book it could just as positively be shown that Jesus not only worked no miracles whatever, but that he gave his word of honor he would under no circumstances give a sign to prove his claims: Jesus Refuses to Perform Miracles. Jesus Recites His Many Miracles. And the Pharisees came Jesus answered and said forth, and began to question unto them, Go and shew John with him, seeking of him a again those things which ye sign from heaven. . . . do hear and see. The blind And he sighed deeply in his receive their sight, and the spirit, and saith . . . There lame walk, the lepers are shall no sign be given unto cleansed, and the deaf hear, this generation. And he left the dead are raised up. ** them. . . .* It is difficult to suppose that the Pharisees, after seeing all these miracles performed in their midst daily, desired "a sign" from, him, or that Jesus, instead of pointing to his many miracles, should declare, positively: "There shall no sign be given unto this generation." The miracle of Jonah, who was in the belly of a fish for three days, was enough, Jesus said to the Jews, to prove his own divinity. Again, it is as clear as anything can be, for instance, that the words, "Go, ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," *** were interpolated into the text of the Gospels after the Trinitarian party had come into power. If Jesus really delivered the words to his disciples just before they began their missionary labors, how is it that not one of the baptisms by the Apostles recorded in the New Testament were in the name of the Trinity? Paul was not baptized according to the formula given in the Gospels; Peter did not baptize in the name of a triune God; Philip, who baptized the Ethiopian, does not seem to have known of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost form of baptism. * Mark viii, 11-13. ** Matthew xi, 4,5. *** Matthew xxiii, 19.
