That is pan-heresy of ecumenism. There can't be union with the heretics as Lord's Bride ought to remain "holy and without blemish" (Eph 5,27). You are wishing for defiling of the Lord's Bride which is blasphemy and abomination of the Holy Spirit who leads Lord's Bride and Lord Himself who promised that His Church will be pillar and ground of the truth. Monophysite heretics are for a reason tossed away back at 4th Council and you, and alike ecumenists, are spitting on Holy Fathers who fought these heretics and were martyred by them. SHAME.!

Thank you fathers, I am from Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Chrch.

​@@minasoliman you don't need to apologize for offending me, I don't matter. You shouldn't, however, offend the Holy Fathers by calling their extremely sophisticated and well-informed refutations of the heretics as "simple polemical views." THAT, my good one, isn't the safest route. You are currently strawmanning what my position is. I do not, and have not ever believed, that terminology is an issue to die on. The concepts are the hill to die on, as we've explained many times. The concept of what a primary substance is, and that Christ is 1 of 2 of these, and that we cannot profess any kind of duality after the union - these are not terminological, they are very grounded concepts. So, surely, you now know regarding my position, that THAT is not a terminological issue. You are the only one here saying that semantics were even an issue in the first place. In my view, it was never about semantics, but always about the concept of what unity is, what division is. I would argue that it is the simple mindedness of religious indifferentism which refuses to prod into what these terms mean in their concept (unity, division, difference, duality). For instance, the definition of "division" is "numerical distinction." By this definition, and by the explicit mention of the Chalcedonians, they adhere to a division according to nature, while professing an external undividedness of conjunction (which they term "hypostasis"). I also do not find issue in finding value in the dialogues, but not to the detriment of elementary facts of history and Christology - the Joint Agreements contradict each other for instance on what Christ is composed out of (hint: one of those answers is by necessity wrong and was actually rejected as heretical by Sts Cyril and Severus).

I feel so blessed to have come across this. I subscribed awhile ago but didn't realize I'm not getting all notifications. That totally changed today because this is nothing short of a miracle that you posted this when i needed help to understand it. Orthodoxy is new to me to study and i truly thought all Orthodox churches believed in the same doctrine without any schisms. Recently i came across a pretty rude video of an Eastern Orthodox priest labeling Oriental Orthodox people as heretics. The most heart breaking part wasn't in the video but in the comments section. This priest would reply to comments of Coptics explaining they are not monophysites with really rude and callous replies. One person relayed a real life experience of visiting different Orthodox churches when he was still exploring Orthodoxy. He went to a Greek Orthodox church and they were dancing because of the Greek festival. He went to a Russian Orthodox church and they all were drinking beer due to some cultural festival. He went to a Coptic church and they were all mourning a series of attacks on churches and praying for their enemies. He explained it was clear to him one church was solemnly worshipping while others turned it into a cultural experience. The priest said "it doesn't matter or else you could go to a Buddhist monk and find them serious in prayer too"... Just no empathy for Christian persecution...! Another Coptic said, "please forgive us, Father, we've been martyred for thousands of years so we didn't have theologians to learn Greek and explain ourselves. Maybe you can hear our theologians now?" May the Lord forgive that priest... needless to say i tried my best to understand such a complex term but this video truly simplified the whole issue for me. Well anyway, all i wanted was to find the Church in the Book of Revelations that is heavily persecuted but loved by the Lord Jesus Christ. That was the church He found nothing reprehensible to judge them on. Thank you for making it clear to me❤ There is another church that the door is open and no one can shut it. Perhaps it is Eastern Orthodox. Would be so loving to unite especially when we have brothers and sisters in need of supportive family.

So there must be some major difference theologically that I'm not understanding. I must say this is all too confusing to me as a Protestant wishing to cross over to Orthodoxy. Trying to figure out the true church is daunting. I wish it would be easier to understand heresy from just "cultural differences".

At least among laypeople, especially for a newbie like myself, I'm glad there aren't nasty things being said about one another and a brotherly love of some sorts.

Dr. Chaillot made an interesting point, saying Chalcedon brought a "new terminology." However, that seems to be somewhat confusing, given the history right before Chalcedon. The reason being, Chalcedon had the same set of beliefs and terms as held by Nestorius, Theodore of Mopsuestia, and their followers. It was refuted by St Cyril, St Theodotus, and the entire Third Ecumenical Council as way of introducing duality while inconsistently claiming a unity of person. But, according to the Holy Fathers, unity of person is only able to be genuine when there is a complete abolishment of duality. St Cyril even explains that if Nestorius accepts our unity of hypostasis, but still confesses 2 natures, that he is still in doctrinal error: "So, if the power of the unity proclaimed by him indicates the unity perceived by us, I say that it indicates the unity according to hypostasis. For it would reasonably speak of no division in Christ according to His being Christ; for there is not one and another, neither son and son, other and other, first and second, but unmistakably one before flesh and after flesh. For it will be thus according to worth, as you say, and yet the power is indivisible, but rather the same. Then how do you say that the one and indivisible is twofold and not rather according to worth, but according to nature? "οὐκοῦν τῆς παρ ̓ αὐτοῦ λεγομένης συναφείας ἡ δύναμις εἰ τὴν καθ ̓ ἡμᾶς νοουμένην ενότητα δηλοί, φημὶ δὴ τὴν καθ ̓ ὑπόστασιν, ἔφη ἂν εἰκότως μηδεμίαν εἶναι Χριστοῦ τὴν διαίρεσιν κατὰ τὸ εἶναι Χριστόν· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἕτερος καὶ ἕτερος οὔτε μὴν υἱὸς καὶ υἱός, ἄλλος καὶ ἄλλος, πρῶτος καὶ δεύτερος, ἀλλ ̓ εἰς δηλονότι καὶ πρὸ σαρκὸς καὶ μετὰ σαρκός. ἔσται γὰρ οὕτω κατά γε τὴν ἀξίαν, ὡς σὺ φής, καὶ μέντοι τὴν δυναστείαν ἀδιαίρετος, μᾶλλον δὲ ὁ αὐτός. εἶτα πῶς τὸν ἕνα καὶ ἀδιαίρετον διπλοῦν εἶναι φὴς καὶ οὐχὶ τῆι ἀξίαι μᾶλλον, ἀλλὰ τῆι φύσει; - St Cyril, 5 Tomes Against Nestorius, Tome 2.6

@freeindeed2354 Thank you for that question. The fathers actually speak extensively of this, and I encourage you to read both St Cyril and St Severus on this matter. What they answer can be summarized as follows: natures don't "do" anything, persons do! So divinity does not suffer, and neither does humanity. However, human person's do! And we confess that Christ, the perfect God-Man, suffered in the flesh for our sakes as we confess in the holy creed. Therefore, to separate humanity from the divinity and to speak as if only his human nature suffered is to create an unnatural separation within him that ultimately leads to nestorianism. As St Cyril says perfectly in his 12th Anathema against Nestorios: "Whosoever shall not recognize that the Word of God suffered in the flesh, that he was crucified in the flesh, and that likewise in that same flesh he tasted death and that he is become the first-begotten of the dead, for, as he is God, he is the life and it is he that giveth life: let him be anathema."

I read your theological explanations (F. Theodore Malaty and others) and I realized: you are not heretics at all!

However, there are some current very serious problems: Patriarchate of Constantinople is directed by USA (and some other western states) to destroy the unity of the Orthodox, while procuring a complete unity of Greek Churches with the heresy of Roman Catholicism. The other grave issue is the ecclesiological and theological position of the Armenian Church: recently they entered a full eucharistic union with the Catholics, and several modern Armenian theologians openly advocate the heresy of aphtharodocetism (Julian of Halicarnassus & co.). However, I hope these obstacles are not insurmountable, if there is genuine will! All the best to all of you!

My remark about the full communion of the Armenian (non-Uniate) Church and Roman Catholics stems from my personal contact with the NON-Uniate Armenians that I met (and later kept correspondence with) in Venice in the Uniate (!) monastery, in 2008. We talked a lot about church issues, and I was surprised to hear from them that they not only attended Roman Catholic colleges and universities (which is something that Eastern Orthodox ecumenists tend to do), but also fully participate in all their rituals. They told me that everybody understood the (then) recent agreements between Armenian Church and the Latins (1996/2001) to mean full communion. After your reply, I checked the agreements and official positions of the two communities (which I hadn't done ever before), and it turns out that their official position is NOT of full (inter)communion. Obviously, the local interpretations (I don't know how widespread) differ from the official stance. However, I cannot blame anyone, as today we Eastern Christians have a traitor in our midst, who wreaks havoc in our Orthodoxy, while praying and maintaining best relations with the Latins (the NATO-Bartholomew). However, the problem with aphthartodocetism seems to be much more serious. The Armenian Church anathematized Severus of Antioch at its Second Dvin Council (554) because of his teaching of the corruptibility of Christ's body, while their Manzikert Council (726) condemned explicitly his teaching although not himself (in the 6th anathema). This is clearly stated by Fr. Oleg Davydenkov (PhD, professor at St. Tikhon Orthodox University, an expert on Armenian Church, "Aphthartodocetism: Christology and Anthropology" [Афтартодокетизм: Христология и антропология], 1999 yearly conference of STOU), and confirms the findings of prof. Ye. I. Troitsky (PhD, Exposition of Faith of the Armenian Church [Изложение веры Церкви Армянской], St. Petersburg, 1875). A recent Armenian theologian Hieromonk Ghevond Hovhannisyan (Gevond Oganesyan) has a slightly different interpretation, while still firmly refuting Severus' teaching (monography Reflections on the theme of Chalcedon [Размышления на тему Халкидона] Jerusalem: Noah, 2009; also available online in Russian). I can see there is some confusion regarding the term "corruptibility" (having two senses: 1. ability to suffer; 2. liability to decay). In any case, it's evident that you, guys (Oriental Orthodox), will first have to clear up things among yourselves - is Severus' teaching right, and is he a saint. There is also a distinct question of Severus’ "fierce iconoclasm". As we ourselves (Eastern Orthodox) first will have to eradicate the (neo)papism of Constantinople, to be able to talk to your community. I'm just a Serbian Orthodox layman, but I'd like to ask you, if you are a Coptic/Armenian priest or theologian? All the best! Alen

I have a question How come some oriental orthodox churches are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church and some actually participate in the roman Catholic mass to resive the Eucharist and ive seen that those same Oriental Orthodox churches that are in communion with the Catholic Church also share roman Catholic devotions like the immaculate heart of Mary or the assumption of mary into heaven which is a roman Catholic doctrine and why do the Oriental Orthodox also have a pope

@@jacobbaradaeus6250 thanks but did you go watch the recent “The Great St Joseph Debate”? You can view on either Josephology, East2West Theology, or Standing for Truth. It was Protestant vs Catholic vs Orthodox. Many arguments were given from each side to the proposition “Joseph begot no children.” The debaters and the moderator were very cordial and professional and well-researched. To your above points thank you and permit me to push back with the Catholic position: 1) Scripture does not say Joseph begot children nor that he was 80 when he married Mary; rather, Luke says he was a “man” (aner) not an “old man” (presbytes) as he does for Zachariah in that same passage of Luke 1:18-27. 2) the 3 most ancient icons in the world of St Joseph do not depict him with grey hair but with brown as a normal aged man in his prime. It was not until the 7th century that the first icon of Joseph as an elderly man with grey hair popped up in Egypt. 3) the majority of church fathers, from both east and west, explicitly or implicitly tell us that both Mary and Joseph remained as virgins. Eg, Sts Athanasius, Gregory Nanzianzen, Augustine, Jerome, etc. 4) yes the Proto has some good stuff in it but also some errors such as Joseph being an elderly widower, a midwife, and hymen checking. Those are not Biblical. It was an apologetic to defend Mary’s virginity against heretics (Ebionites and Antimarianites) and was a creative way to try to answer the “brethren of the Lord” - but you don’t need to sacrifice Joseph’s virginity to “protect” Mary’s virginity. Joseph, like Jesus, remained a “eunuch for the sake of the kingdom” and the New Uzzah to protect Mary the New Ark. Yes the Proto was of around 150 AD, but the Gospel of Luke was from before that. 5) logically, God wanted both Joseph and Mary to look as normal and ordinary as possible to protect them from Satan who was awaiting a virgin who would give birth to the Messiah. Their ordinariness was their “cloak” to fly under the radar of those who would do them harm. St Ignatius and St Justin Martyr speak to this. And the townspeople said isn’t this THE son not A son of Joseph the carpenter? And God wanted a man in his prime to protect Jesus and St Mary and be able to walk some 3000 miles to Egypt and back. And to provide a home for them as a carpenter which was hard work for a man fit in his prime. Joseph’s greatest strength was his virtue of purity or charity, not his senility. It would have looked extremely abnormal to the people if Joseph were 80 and St Mary 15 as a married couple. They would have asked questions. 6) there are only like 3 or 4 early church fathers who say Joseph was an elderly widower but they were simply misguided by the Proto on the widower apologetic invention. St Epiphanius for example in his Panerion written against heretics says Joseph was 40 when he married an unnamed 1st wife and had 6 kids and then he was 80 when he married St Mary as his 2nd wife. Epiphanius gives different names and birth orders than does the other apocraphal book The History of the Carpenter which also does not give the name of his alleged 1st wife and also says that Joseph and St Mary had relations and produced Jesus. So that book is heretical (Ebionite). The other later apocryphal books were a rehash of the Proto like the Pseudo Gospel of Matthew with additional embellishments as the Proto had to “go under ground” and get renamed to “hide” it because it was not just rejected but even condemned by the Patriarchs of Rome and some eastern church fathers. Yes the Proto has some valid and true history too in it but they got it from us, we didn’t get it from them. We knew Mary was a virgin as attested in Scripture and her parents names already from Tradition etc. Origin says of the Proto that “some say” Joseph had children by a previous wife but note well that he does not say “we say”. Some will claim St Ephrem the Syrian said Joseph was a non-virgin / widower but I’ve never seen them produce a quote from St Ephrem that says that. Thanks for the opportunity to push back some and show you the other more ancient tradition about Holy Joseph the virgin husband of Mary and virgin father of Jesus.

Clearly, selfish ambition and human pride were the culprits, they always are in the end. But let's pray for a union where everyone involved desires only the pursuit of truth and the heart of God.

I think we should look at the bigger picture and think about how the Church works in solving such disagreements, that is not just "submit to my one true opinion", because lets face it all 3 big old churches (Rome, EO, Alexandria) have good arguments for their positions and we are stuck and they all think that their view is the correct views (there are many more disagreements than just this one issue, they are just mostly under the radar).

In the Orthodox (commonly referred to as Oriental Orthodox) belief, our Lord states this phrase for many reasons. One is to bring to mind psalm 22 which starts with "My God My God...."I'm that psalm we see many things being fulfilled by the crucifixion. Not only that but there is a turning point in the psalm that states "You have answered Me" and "I will declare Your Name to the bretheren". These are prophecies of the resurrection (God the Father raised Him from the dead, and the Lord proclaimed the good news to the brethren). So what is being reunited? It is our humanity that cries out in Christ. He is the Mediator and our mouth piece. As both God and man in one He represents us, does everything for us, says everything for us, teaches us how to exist in Him, rehabilitated our nature, etc. The Logos Incarnate says My God My God for us. He sanctifies us in Himself and reunites us with God because He is Emmanuel our God, the Son of God who calls us His brethren.

here's St. Gregory the Theologian: "For His Human Will cannot be opposed to God, seeing it is altogether taken into God; but conceived of simply as in our nature, inasmuch as the human will does not completely follow the Divine, but for the most part struggles against and resists it. For we understand in the same way the words, Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; Nevertheless let not what I will but Your Will prevail. For it is not likely that He did not know whether it was possible or not, or that He would oppose will to will. But since, as this is the language of Him Who assumed our Nature (for He it was Who came down), and not of the Nature which He assumed, we must meet the objection in this way, that the passage does not mean that the Son has a special will of His own, besides that of the Father, but that He has not; so that the meaning would be, "not to do Mine own Will, for there is none of Mine apart from, but that which is common to, Me and You; for as We have one Godhead, so We have one Will." - St. Gregory the Theologian (Oration 30)
