XVI.
And since some have given us trouble by attempting
to subvert our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and by affirming of Him
that He was not God incarnated, but a man linked with God; for this
reason we present our confession on the subject of the aforementioned
matters of faith, and reject the faithless dogmas opposed
thereto. For God, having been incarnated in the flesh of man,
retains also His proper energy pure, possessing a mind unsubjected by
the natural341 and fleshly
affections, and holding the flesh and the fleshly motions divinely and
sinlessly, and not only unmastered by the power of death, but even
destroying death. And it is the true God unincarnate that has
appeared incarnate, the perfect One with the genuine and divine
perfection; and in Him there are not two persons. Nor do
we affirm that there are four
to worship, viz., God and the Son of God, and man and the Holy
Spirit. Wherefore we also anathematize those who show their
impiety in this, and who thus give the man a place in the divine
doxology. For we hold that the Word of God was made man on
account of our salvation, in order that we might receive the likeness
of the heavenly, and be made divine342 after the likeness of Him who is the true
Son of God by nature, and the Son of man according to the flesh, our
Lord Jesus Christ.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
