Chapter XXI.
The authority of Holy Scripture teaches that Christ
existed from all eternity.
And yet to return to what
we said before, though all these things are so, as we have stated: how
do we read that Jesus Christ (whom you assert to be a mere man) was
ever existing even before His birth of a Virgin, and how is He
proclaimed by prophets and apostles as God even before the worlds? As
Paul says: “One Lord Jesus, through whom are all
things.”2579
And elsewhere
he says: “For in Christ were created all things in heaven and on
earth, both visible and invisible.”2580
The
Creed too, which is
framed both by human and Divine authority, says: “I believe in
God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son.” And after
other clauses: “Very God of Very God; by whom both the worlds
were framed and all things were made.” And further: “Who
for us came and was born of the Virgin Mary, and was crucified, and was
buried.”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
