| Martin Luther Disputation On the Divinity and Humanity of Christ IntraText CT - Text |
XVIII.
Argument: Only God is good. Christ does not wish to be called good.
Therefore Christ is not God.
I prove the minor premise from Matthew 19: "Why do you call me good?
No one is good, but. . .," etc.
Response: Christ speaks there according to the capacity of the man asking
the question: "You say that I am good, and yet you do not believe that I am
God. Therefore you do not rightly call me good." Or thus: Christ wished to
speak according to his humanity.
