The True Christian Religion Vol 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from The True Christian Religion, Vol. 3: Containing the Universal Theology of the New Church Foretold by the Lord in Daniel VII, 13, 14 and in the Apocalypse XXI, 1, 2 God, consubstantial with the Father, who descended from the heavens and was incamated by the Holy Spirit from the virgin Mary; and in the Holy Spirit, Lord and vivifier, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified. In the Athanasian creed is the following: The Catholic faith is this, that we worship one God in'trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the person nor separating the substance. But as we are compelled by Christian verity to confess each person separately, God and Lord, SO are we for bidden by the Catholic religion to say three Gods or three Lords. That is, men may confess, but not say, three Gods and Lords; may not say so because religion forbids, but may confess them because the truth so dictates. This Athanasian creed was written out immediately after the holding of the Nicene Council, by one or more of those who had been pres ent, and it was also accepted as oecumenical or catholic. It is manifest from this that it was then decreed that three Di vine Persons from eternity should be acknowledged; and that although each Person singly by himself was God, still they ought not to be called three Gods and Lords, but one.
