Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 33

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

33. The learned, according to their idea, place the Divine of the Lord outside Himself, for the reason that they are thinking of the Divine of the Father, and think only of the Human of the Lord as separate from the Divine. They do not think of the Divine of the Lord Himself in the Human. Nor do they pay heed to the last words in the Athanasian Creed on the point. They do not carefully ponder these words. But, contrary to the words of the Creed, they maintain only the idea of two natures which they separate.
