ACC ~ Galatians 1 v11
WHY DOES HE SAY âNOT ACCORDING TO MANâ? MARIUS VICTORINUS: Possibly because the Savior himself is not a man [merely], as some think. Nor because he is sent in the form of a man is he therefore a man but God in a mystery taking flesh to overcome the flesh. ⌠If âfrom a manâ means one thing, âafter the manner of manâ will mean another. And again if âI did not receive from a manâ is one thing. ânot after the manner of manâ will be another. Therefore âafter the manner of manâ can be understood to mean âso that you may understand in a corporeal manner,â seeing that the argument received is that âwhich I did not receive from man.â EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.1.11.
THE MAN FROM GOD. AUGUSTINE: The gospel that is âaccording to menâ is a lie, for every person is a liar, seeing that whatever truth is found in a man is not from the man but through the man from God. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 6 [1B.1.11-12]
