Deity of Christ (7)
When Jesus speaks of God as Father, he is implying that he is divine, an implication that is not lost on those around him. The God Who Is Triune: Revisioning the Christian Doctrine of God (Kindle Locations 261-262). Kindle Edition.
homoiousios [taught] that the Son is of similar substance with the Father...
The term homoousios could not be twisted to mean anything else than that the essence of the Son is identical with that of the Father.The History of Christian Doctrines (87)
Those who deny the Deity of Christ, the authority of the Holy Scripture, their obligation to the Moral Law, etc., forsake Christ.The Zealous Christian
You can tell that the theory of [The Son's] creation out of nothing is most ungodly because the Father is always present with the Son. Indeed, this is why he is called "Father." The Father is perfect in the eternal presence of the Son with him. He needs nothing to supplement his goodness, and begot the only begotten Son not in time, nor after an interval, nor out of nothing.Epistula ad Alexandrum Constantinopoleos 7
In the divine plan of salvation it was absolutely essential that the Mediator should also be very God. This was necessary, in order that (1) He might bring a sacrifice of infinite value and render perfect obedience to the law of God; (2) He might bear the wrath of God redemptively, that is, so as to free others from the curse of the lawSystematic Theology, 319
The number of times that Paul calls the crucified and risen Jesus "Lord" needs no documenting. Nor is there any question that in using the term Lord, Paul intended the full significance of the Divine Name, YHWH. This is shown, for instance, by application of Joel 3:5 to Christ in Romans 10:13, "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"- Christ is the Lord who will save those who turn to him.The Way to Nicaea, 64
