Annotation CIII

”Nation shall rise against nation.” — Matthew 24:7

On the Homoousion [consubstantial].

The author of the Opus imperfectum, homily 48, says that the assertion of the catholics — who teach the Son [to be] “homoousion” with the Father, that is, consubstantial — is a heresy which is opposed to the Church of Christ. “The heresy,” he says, “of the Homousians is opposed not only to the Church of Christ, but also to all the heresies not wise in like manner.” Therefore Christ says, “Nation shall rise against nation.”
