20. If you still wish to assert that God the
Father in solitude said these words to Himself, I can go with you as
far as to admit the possibility that He might in solitude have spoken
to Himself as if He were conversing with a companion, and that it is
credible that He wished the words I have made man after the image of
God to be equivalent to I have made man after My own
image. But your own confession of faith will refute
you. For you have confessed that all things are from the Father,
but all through the Son; and the words, Let Us make man, shew
that the Source from Whom are all things is He Who spoke thus, while
God made him after the image of God clearly points to Him
through Whom the work was done.
