Monophysitism
Revision as of 07:10, 24 August 2007 by Graham grove (talk | contribs)
Monophysitism (from the Greece monos meaning 'one' and physis meaning 'nature'), also known as Eutychianism, is the position that Christ has only one nature (Christ's humanity was absorbed into his single divine nature), as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has or is in two natures, one divine and one human. It should be noted that miaphysitism [1] has always been the Christological position of the Non-Chalcedonian, Oriental Orthodox Churches (not monophysitism). Non-Chalcedonian, Oriental Orthodox Churches have always strongly condemned Eutychianism [2] as a heresy.
