Topic VIII.
If any one affirms that Christ is perfect man and
also God the Word in the way of separation,409
and refuses to acknowledge the one
Lord
Jesus Christ, even as it is written, let him be anathema.
Explication.
How could one say that Christ is perfect man and
also God the Word in the way of separation, when the Lord Himself says,
“Why seek ye to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth,
which I have heard of God?”410
For
God the Word did not give a man for
us, but He gave Himself for us, having been made man for our
sake. Wherefore He says: “Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up. But He spake of the temple of His
body.”
