This shows exactly what I said. The Son (divine Person of the Trinity) uncreated, the Son (divine Person of the Trinity) eternal, the Son (divine Person of the Trinity) of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten.
He is God and Man, God of the Essence of the Father, begotten before the worlds (and therefore eternal), and Man of the Essence of His Mother, born in this world (human essence is CREATED, born at a POINT IN TIME), his Humanity has a reasonable soul and human flesh. Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead (eternal) and inferior to Him in touching His manhood (created, not eternal). God and man, but not two, one. NOT by the deity becoming created (see what I said earlier in this post, the divinity is said to be eternal, begotten before worlds in this very creed). This is the most important part: but by assumption of the (created) manhood into the uncreated Essence, not by confusion of the substances but by unity of the Person.
The "mystery" of the Incarnation is really only this, the assuming of a finite and created essence into a divine one without confusing, mixing, or co-mingling of the essences. It is impossible to comprehend.
