Any seemingly miraculous works performed by men are only through the gifts of God.

YES! Exactly my point. *sigh*

why the sigh?

to recognize that men can only do these works with God’s help does not in any way “prove” that Jesus was stripped of his divinity.

Jesus is different from us. We are different from Him.
We share similarities with Him, but we are never going to be divine. We are never going to become members of the 3-in-one Godhead.

The Son has a mysterious relationship with the Father.
There is nothing in scripture that suggests this relationship underwent a drastic change of some sort when He took on human form.

When Jesus says He cannot do anything without the Father - why do you all assume that statement is a change from how it always was or always will be?

I believe Jesus’s relationship with the Father remained the same throughout His mission. I believe it has ALWAYS been true that the Son doesn’t do anything without the Father, and that will ALWAYS be true in the future.
