III.

Argument:  God knows all things.  Christ does not know all things.  Therefore

Christ is not God.

        I prove the minor premise from Mark, where Christ says that he does

not know the last day.

Response:  The solution is that Christ there speaks after a human manner, as

he also says:  "All things have been given to me by the Father."  Often he

speaks of himself as if simply of God, sometimes simply as of man.  The

Father does not will that the human nature should have to bear divine

epithets [ut humana natura debeat gerere dicta divina], despite the union,

and yet sometimes [Christ] speaks of himself as of God, when he says, "The

Son of Man will be crucified."  To be crucified is a property of the human

nature, but because there are two natures united in one person, it is

attributed to both natures.  Again, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal

life."  There he speaks of the divine nature.  Or again, "They crucified the

Lord of glory," where he speaks of the property of the humanity.
