Gregory Thaumaturgus - Twelve Topics on the Faith

Topic IX.

If any one says that Christ suffers change or alteration, and refuses to acknowledge that He is unchangeable in the Spirit, though corruptible ^[412] in the flesh, ^[413] let him be anathema.

Explication.

How could one say that Christ suffers change or alteration, when the Lord Himself says, "I am and change not;" ^[414] again, "His soul shall not be left in Hades, neither shall His flesh see corruption?" ^[415]
