Argument: The divinity in Christ felt no pain. God is divinity. Therefore he did not feel pain on the Cross, and consequently he did not suffer.
Response: [Because of] the communication of atributes, those things which Christ suffered are attributed also to God, because they are one. Our adversaries want to divide the unity of the person, but we will [not] concede. We join or unite the distinct natures in one person.
XXXIII [a].
Argument: Whatever is subject to death, is not God. Christ was subjected to death. Therefore Christ is not God.
Response: [First,] there is the communication of attributes, and the argument is a philosophical one.
[Again:] Scripture does not say: "This man created the world; God suffered." Therefore these expressions are not to be used.
Response: Error resides not in words, but in the sense; although Scripture does not put forward these words, it nevertheless has the same sense.
XXXIII [b].
Argument: No creature creates. Christ is a creature.
Response: [This is true] understanding creature in a philosophical way. But creature is said of Christ theologically. Christ is the Creator.
Again: Paul [writes] to the Galatians: God sent his Son, born of a woman. Therefore God is a creature.
Response: The argument is true according to the humanity.
