Eastern Orthodox vs. Oriental Orthodox.

Thought their names both show their eastern heritage, the orientals and the easterns are different schisms.

    ​​@@CatechesisVids you are right Cyril is a heretic This objection is yet another attack on those who say that there is one incarnate nature of the Son. They want to show that the idea is foolish and so they keep on arguing at every turn that two natures endured. They have forgotten, however, that it is only those things that are usually distinguished at more than a merely theoretical level which split apart from one another in differentiated separateness and radical distinction. Let us once more take the example of an ordinary man. We recognize two natures in him; for there is one nature of the soul and another of the body, but we divide them only at a theoretical level, and by subtle speculation, or rather we accept the distinction only in our mental intuitions, and we do not set the natures apart nor do we grant that they have a radical separateness, but we understand them to belong to one man. This is why the two are no longer two, but through both of them the one living creature is rendered complete." - St Cyril, Second Letter to Succensus "But being made one in nature, and not converted into flesh, he made his indwelling in such a way, as we may say that the soul of man does in his own body. Neither do we understand the manner of conjunction to be apposition, for this does not suffice for natural oneness (πρὸς ἕνωσον φυσικήν)." - St Cyril, Third Letter to Nestorius They also said the following: ‘If there is one incarnate nature of the Word then it absolutely follows that there must have been a mixture and confusion, with the human nature in him being diminished or ‘stolen away’ as it were.' Once again those who twist the truth are unaware that in fact there is but one incarnate nature of the Word."

    This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Monophysitism is classified as an Eutychian heresy, which is unanimously rejected by both the Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches. The divergence between these two branches of Christianity originates from the outcomes of the Council of Chalcedon, which exonerated individuals sympathetic to Nestorian views (namely Theodoret of Cyrus, Ibas of Edessa, and Theodore of Mopsuestia). Of course they denounced and anathematized their teachings in a later council but it seems the damage has already been done at that point. To be clear, our theological stance remains aligned with the Christology articulated by Saint Cyril of Alexandria, denouncing both Nestorianism and Eutychianism. So please do your research before misrepresenting and slandering us.
