“We abhor, besides, and anathematize those who say falsely that he is but the mere Word of God and non-existent, having his being in another—at one time the ‘expressed’ Word, as some say, at another the ‘immanent’ Word, holding that he was not Christ or Son of God or mediator or image of God before ages; but that he first became Christ and Son of God when he took our flesh from the Virgin, not quite four hundred years ago.” -The Creed of the Long Lines AD 345.
