(Accepting this as role-playing)
This is the "power of God card" which the believer can opt to play as a last resort when all other options are gone. The act of playing it is a tacit admission that their story is so odd, so against all evidence, that it defies any worldly explanation.
Beyond the problems of Occam's Razor and Hitchen's Razor ("that which can be proposed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"), it opens a can of worms for the theist. If you suppose that a deity whispers to one mortal regarding the truth about Jesus, why not a more influential one? Would a Roman Emperor or a Pope would be a better choice than some guy in a totally different country?

John 10:38 The Father is in me, and I in him.
John 14:9 He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed
Revelation 1:17 Fear not; I am the first and the last.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega
Muslims, put down the Bible. It shouldn't be surprising that someone else's scripture is written to support someone else's religion.
