12. If, indeed, wheresoever they read the
Name of God, they deny that there is any thought of the Son [as well as
the Father], they blaspheme, inasmuch as they deny the Son’s
Divine Sovereignty, and they shall appear as though they shared the
sinful error of the Sabellians in teaching the Incarnation of the
Father. Let them, indeed explain how they can fail to interpret
in a sense blasphemous to the Father the words of the Apostle:
“In Whom ye did also rise again, by faith in the working of God,
Who raised Him from the dead.” Col. ii. 12. Let
them also take warning from what follows of what they are running
upon—for this is what comes after: “And though ye
were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He
quickened us with Him, pardoning us all our offences, blotting out the
handwriting of the Ordinance, which was opposed to us, and removed it
from our midst, nailing it to His Cross, divesting Himself of the
flesh.” Col. ii. 13–14.
