 | | Monothelitism, the human and divine wills of Jesus | | | It thus refuted the heresy of monothelitism, which held that Jesus Christ had only one (divine) will. | | | The chief doctrinal conclusion of the council is that Jesus has two wills as well as two natures (divine and human), and that those two wills did not conflict with or strive against each other. |

| | Not all the orthodox agreed and monothelitism was subsequently condemned. | | | Monothelitism came about as an attempted compromise between orthodox Christology and monophysitism, which was the doctrine that Christ had only one nature. | | | In his attempt to deny that the will is exercised according to our nature, he has affirmed that "Christ, the express image of God, exercised his will from his Person, and not from his nature..." But Clifton rejects monothelitism and asserts that Christ has two wills. |

| | Monothelitism |
| | Monothelitism was a heresy especially prevalent in the Eastern church in the seventh century which said that as Christ had but one nature (monophysitism) so he had but one will (Greek monos, "alone"; thelein, "to will"). | | | Monothelitism was a 7th - century Byzantine doctrine that accepted the teaching of two natures in Jesus Christ, as defined (451) at the Council of Chalcedon, but declared that he had only one will or mode of activity (energeia). | | | Emperor Heraclius attempted to reconcile the monophysite bishops, who held that the human and divine natures in Christ were fused together to form a third, by offering in his ecthesis (statement of faith) in 638 the view that Christ worked through a divine - human energy. |

| | Influenced by this erroneous opinion, the Monothelite heretics said that in Christ there was only one divine will ("thelema") and only one divine energy ("energia"). | | | The Fourth Ecumenical Council had condemned the Monophysite heresy, which falsely taught that in the Lord Jesus Christ there was only one nature (the divine). | | | On the way, he visited the bishops of Africa, strengthening them in Orthodoxy, and encouraging them not to be deceived by the cunning arguments of the heretics. |

| | Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church - Father Thomas Welbers - Homily |
| | The word “monothelitism” comes from two Greek words, the prefix “mono-” meaning one, and the word “thelema,” meaning “will.” This belief, that Jesus had only one will, God’s will, was of course a very attractive way of understanding the divinity of Christ. | | | The problem with monothelitism, believing that Jesus did not have a human will but only a divine will, is that it bottom-line denies the full humanity of Jesus Christ. | | | It was a belief that Jesus Christ did not have a human will but only had only one will, the divine will. |

| | White is Wrong (This Rock: April 2001) |
| | Monothelitism held that there was one will and operation-a divine one-in Christ, while Catholic teaching is that there were two wills and operations-divine and human-in Christ. | | | By agreeing to a rule of silence instead of issuing a rule or definition of faith, Honorius left the monothelite patriarchs of the East an opening to further insinuate the heresy among the faithful. | | | White has offered no evidence based on the substance of Honorius' letters that this pope taught heresy, the pope's letters were known to a select few Eastern bishops, not to the faithful at large, and thus were hardly the instrument to convey a dogmatic definition. |

| | Morphemics: Monothelitism and the Free Will Defense |
| | Monothelitism was consistent with monophysitism, which is the doctrine that the incarnate Christ had only one nature, the human and divine having been somehow merged. | | | Monothelitism is the doctrine that the incarnate Christ has a single will, much like any other person. | | | I don't so much offer a direct explanation of the free-will defense as I try to explain the different ideas of what the will is and why the free will defense cannot consistently be held by Presbyterians. |

| | Monothelitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Monothelitism was the christological doctrine that Jesus had one will but two natures (divine and human). | | | The Maronite Church in modern Lebanon split from the Church in response to the Monothelite Controversy, although there is dispute as to whether the Maronites were actually Monothelites - the Maronites themselves, now in communion with Rome, deny that their Christology was ever anything but orthodox. | | | Under the influence of the Patriarch Sergios (of Constantinople), monothelitism was developed during the reign of Heraclius (610-641) as a response to the failure of Monoenergism as an attempt to reconcile the Monophysites with the Chalcedonians. |

| | In answer to questions put to him by the emperor he declared that he would rather be cut to pieces and thrown into the sea than admit the doctrine of two wills or operations. | | | He then went through the names given by the legates, adding to them that of Pope Honorius. | | | In this and the following session Macarius came to grief over a passage from St. Cyril of Alexandria and St. Leo, in which, after the manner of a man who sees everything through coloured glasses, he tried to find Monothelitism. |
