“We acknowledge, indeed, that Christ in human nature is called a Son, not like believers by gratuitous adoption merely, but the true, natural, and, therefore, only Son, this being the mark which distinguishes him from all others.

But how is he an only Son in so great a multitude of brethren, except that he possesses by nature what we acquire by gift?” SonAdoptionTrinitySonshipBegottenArianismModalismServetus Book:Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2 Vols Source: Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2 Vols
“Even a child could see the division between what the Galileans [i.e., Christians] say they believe and what, in fact, they do believe, as demonstrated by their actions.
