Athanasian Creed (Worcester) n. 29

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

29. That the Human is Divine, is manifest in Isaiah, where it is said that:

A virgin shall bring forth a son, whose name is God with us (Isa. 7:14);

and in another passage:

A Son and Boy shall be born, whose name shall be God, Father of eternity (Isa. 9:6). It is also said that:

Of David shall One be born who shall be called Jehovah, our Justice (Jer. 23:6; 33:15-16). In these and other passages, is meant the Lord as to the Human; which therefore is called "God," "Father of eternity," "Jehovah."
