22. I do not think they can say the name was
falsely assumed, and so involve themselves in the open wickedness of
blasphemy; lest they should betray themselves on the one hand to the
demons and idols, and on the other to Christ, by insinuating that the
name of God was falsely given to Him. But if they think He is
called God because He had an indwelling of the Godhead within
Him,—as many holy men were (for the Scripture calls them Gods to
whom the word of God came), S. John x. 35.—they do
not place Him before other men, but think He is to be compared with
them; so that they consider Him to be the same as He has granted other
men to be, even as He says to Moses: “I have made thee a
god unto Pharaoh.” Ex. vii. 1. Wherefore
it is also said in the Psalms: “I have said, ye are
gods.” Ps. lxxxii. 6.
