God the Son
For
I have shown from the Scriptures, that no one of the sons of Adam is as to
everything, and absolutely, called God, or named Lord. But that He is Himself
in His own right, beyond all men who ever lived, God, and Lord, and King
Eternal, and the Incarnate Word, proclaimed by all the prophets, the apostles,
and by the Spirit Himself, may be seen by all who have attained to even a small
portion of the truth. Now, the Scriptures would not have testified these things
of Him, if, like others, He had been a mere man.... He is the holy Lord, the
Wonderful, the Counselor, the Beautiful in appearance, and the Mighty God,
coming on the clouds as the Judge of all men;—all these things did the
Scriptures prophesy of Him.
Irenaeus of Lyons (AD 130-202)
