57. That all those things which are said by the orthodox at the present day concerning the "sending" of the Holy Spirit fall to the ground as soon as it is known that the Lord is constantly present with every man and causes him to live as man; and that He dwells with man in order that man may go to meet the Lord; and that even if he does not go to meet Him, he still has rationality from Him, which is impossible without the Lord's presence. If the Lord were absent from man, he would not be an animal, but a kind of corpse which would be disintegrated. This is meant in Genesis by "God breathing into him a living soul" (Genesis 2:7).
