| Martin Luther Disputation On the Divinity and Humanity of Christ IntraText CT - Text |
VI.
Argument: Everything that is born begins to be, or, everything that is born
has a beginning. Christ was born. Therefore he began to be. He is a
creature, and is not from eternity.
Response: I concede this, with a distinction. In philosophy this is true,
but not in theology. The Son is born eternal from eternity; this is
something incomprehensible. [But] this belongs to theology. For the Holy
Spirit has prescribed models for us; let us walk in that cloud.
