2. Repugnancies, concerning the same Person, of one and the same nature, time, and mode, are simply impossible.
But concerning the person of Christ Jesus, Repugnancies are rightly and truly said, but not concerning his nature, time, and mode.
For if you consider the Divinity, he is called the character of the Father's person and his essential image: he is called Creator, who works with the Father. John 5:17. He is called amētōr without mother, Heb 7:3. Once said to be about to be incarnated, now truly he is said to be incarnated: he is called the great God and our Savior, Tit 2:13. He is said to have emptied himself, namely by having assumed the form of a servant, Phil 2:7.
But if you look at the human nature, he is called and is a Creature, the Seed and Son of Abraham and David: Rom 1:3, Matt 22:45. apatōr without father, Heb 7:3. Son of man: in the Form of a Servant, similar to men. Phil 2:7. Similar to his brothers in all things. Heb 2:17. Having suffered in the flesh, 1 Pet 4:1. Assumed into union in person, etc.
Wherefore it becomes pious Minds to acknowledge in Christ Jesus, not only human nature: but also divine: according to which he is one with the Father, John 10:30. For they are not one kata sarka according to the flesh as Father and Son, but kata pneuma hagiōsynēs according to the spirit of holiness: that is, in respect of Divinity, but not however of humanity, they are homoousioi of one essence.
