"Unus de s. Trinitate in carne crucifixus est"
This was the cry of orthodox Gothic Monks which attended the Council of Chalcedon in 451. They viewed this Latin phrase as being the key to defeat the Nestorians. The phrase translated "One of the Trinity suffered" thus stating Christ was not a subordinate of the Trinity but of the same substance as God. Eternally existing with the Father. God the Son lived as a Man... suffered and died, and rose again! Romans 8:3 "For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh". Our faith is worthless if the Son of Man did not die, and raise again. Christ was the perfect Lamb slain for the sins of the world, and because of this we may have Eternal Life.
