That Christ is not the great God is shewn from the circumstance that in innumerable places of the Scriptures he is clearly distinguished from the great God. As when he is called the Son of God, the word of God, the image of God, the bread which descended from heaven; and infinite other phrases of that kind are used concerning him. Therefore he cannot be the great God himself from whom he is thus distinguished. Matt. iii. 17. "And lo, a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well leased:" 2. Because, Christ is in many places called the Son of God. Whence it is manifest that the Christ (the anointed) is inferior to the Father, (the anointer.) 3d, Because Christ declares that the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do." John v. 19. I can of mine own self do nothing.' v. 30. 4th, Because he declares that he " is not the author of his own doctrine." John vii. 16, 17. 5th, Because Christ declares that "he did not come of himself, but that he was sent by the Father." John vii. 28. 6th, Christ testified that he did not seek his own will.
