Reply. The answer is in the negative. Thus it cannot be said that
the Godhead suffered, or that Christ's human nature is omnipotent,
because the two natures are entirely distinct, and abstract things,
those that signify a nature and not the subject, cannot formally be
predicated of abstract things (those that signify another nature),
nor of concrete things. Hence, just as we cannot say the Godhead is
the human nature, neither can we say that God is the human nature, or
the human nature is God.
Only in the material sense and as expressing identity of person can it
be said: "This man is the Godhead, the Godhead is this man, "
meaning that this man is God, who is His Godhead.
