| | Nestorianism - OrthodoxWiki |
| | Nestorianism is a Christological heresy which originated in the Church in the 5th century out of an attempt to rationally explain and understand the incarnation of the divine Logos, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity as the man Jesus Christ. | | | It is sometimes referred to as the Assyrian Orthodox Church, not to be confused with the Syriac Orthodox Church, a Non-Chalcedonian body, the Chaldean Catholic Church, a Uniate body, or the Orthodox Church of Antioch, an Orthodox local church. | | | The Assyrian Church of the East is a Nestorian body with jurisdiction in Iraq and Eastern Iran. |

| | Miaphysitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As Nestorianism had its roots in the Antiochene tradition and was opposed by the Alexandrian tradition, it took hold in Syria among those who wanted to distance themselves from the extremes of Nestorianism, and in Egypt, among those who wished to uphold the integrity of their theological position. | | | After steering between the heresies of docetism (that Christ only appeared to be human) and adoptionism (that Christ was a man chosen by God), the church began to explore the mystery of Christ's nature further. | | | The reaction to this was monophysitism, which stressed that Christ has but one, single nature that is both divine and human (at its most extreme, this was called eutychianism). |

| | Lamsa considered the Nestorian churches to be the true churches of the East. | | | Nestorianism is a heresy condemned by the Church at the Council of Ephesus in A.D. This heresy accepts the two natures in Christ, the divine and the human, but defines these two natures so that they have no communication between each other. | | | Not only was Lamsa inconsistent, he was unable to understand the aspect of Church history that relates to the refining of the terms in the doctrine of the Trinity. |

| | They were probably aware that it was not quite orthodox, but the Persians who appeared at the Holy Places as pilgrims or at Constantinople must have seemed like Catholics on account of their hatred to the Monophysites, who were the great enemy in the East. | | | The Persian Christians were called "Orientals", or "Nestorians", by their neighbours on the west. | | | The Nestorian Church which they founded, though cut off from the Catholic Church by political exigencies, never intended to do more than practise an autonomy like that of the Eastern patriarchates. |

| | As far as Chalcedonian orthodoxy was concerned, the theological inadequacy of Nestorian doctrine consisted in its view of the hypostatic union (hypostatic means the perfect union of the human nature end divine nature in the one person of Christ). | | | In other words, Nestorians held that in Jesus a divine person (the Logos) and a human person were joined in perfect harmony of action but not in the unity of a single "hypostasis": i.e., "uqnum". | | | In the year 484 Nestorian theology was declared by the Synod of Beth Papat in Persia as the official theology of the East Syrian Church. |

| | What Nestorianism claims is that the deity of Christ and the humanity of Christ were not joined as one person. | | | Jordan claims, "Nestorian Christology, however, denigrates human nature, saying that God and man in Christ were not joined." note26 Actually that is not accurate. | | | Jordan apparently does not understand Nestorianism very well, for he goes on to say that as a result of the two person view, the humanity of Christ becomes a mere slave to his deity. |

| | Nestorianism is a rationalistic form of Christianity from which the mystical element has been excluded; and the Calvinist tradition of opposition to the place of honour given by most Christians to the Lord’s Mother encourages dislike of the necessary term Theotókos. | | | It makes a strong appeal to those who regard Jesus Christ as a Leader to be followed rather than as God to be worshiped, and who think that the active service of mankind is enough without the adoration of God or repentance for sin [See p.92.]. | | | But the Church commonly called Nestorian is not closely connected with the Nestorian controversy. |
