Isaías 44:6
If we count, we do not add, increasing from one to many. We do not say, "one, two, three," or "first, second, and third." God says, "I am the first, and I am the last." We have never to this present day heard of two gods.… How does one and one not equal two gods? Because we speak of the emperor and the emperor's image—but not two emperors.… The image of the emperor is an image by imitation, but the Son is a natural image. — ON THE HOLY SPIRIT 18:45
Isaías 44:27
Yet there will be a time when all things will be burned up by fire, as Isaiah says when he addresses the God of the universe: [You] "who say to the deep, 'Be thou desolate, and I will dry up all your rivers.' " Casting aside, therefore, the wisdom that has been turned into foolishness, receive with us the teaching of truth, homely in speech but infallible in doctrine. — HOMILIES ON THE HEXAMERON 3:6
