Catechesis: The Person of Christ

In his Word he has revealed as much as is necessary for us to know in this life. In this case we have the clear, certain testimonies in the Scriptures, which we should simply believe and to which we should not raise any objections—as if the human nature in Christ was not capable of certain things.—FC SD VIII:53

First, it is a clear rule shared by the entire ancient, orthodox church that whatever Christ received in time according to the testimony of Holy Scripture he received not according to the divine nature (according to which he had all things from eternity), but that the person received it in time ratione et respectu humane naturae (that is, according to the assumed human nature).—FC SD VIII:57
