Argument: Christ beseeches the Father to hear him. Therefore he is not God.
I prove the consequence, for he who seeks to be heard, seeks the honor of one who is superior.
Response: This is done because of the property of the human nature.
Question: It is asked, whether this proposition is true: The Son of God, the creator of heaven and earth, the eternal Word, cries out from the Cross and is a man?
Response: This is true, because what the man cries, God also cries out, and to crucify the Lord of glory is impossible according to the divinity, but it is possible according to the humanity; but because of the unity of the person, this being crucified is attributed to the divinity as well.
V [b].
Argument: If Christ were true God, of the same essence with the Father, the Scripture would not teach that he received all things from the Father. But Scripture so says. Therefore he is not true God.
I respond to the minor premise: This [pertains to] his ministry and humanity. For in divinity he is equal in power with the Father.
