Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 211

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

211. Let two sayings be taken up and explained: -

1. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life," and "No one cometh to the Father but by Me." [John 14:6.]

2. "l am the Vine and My Father is the Vinedresser" [John15:1], etc. It is plain that these statements were made concerning His Human for He spoke also of the Father. If from these two passages, doctrine concerning the Lord had been made, then it would have been known to everyone that it is the Lord Who alone is to be approached and also that His Human is Divine.
