Please forgive my ignorance Brothers

What most Christians mean by "two natures" is that of the nature of God and the nature of Man, both of which are in Jesus.

What Oriental Orthodox Christians call "one nature," the rest of us call "one, undeviated, cooperative, will;" that the Manhood and Godhood of Jesus cooperated together, neither giving up part of itself or overpowering the other. Only in this way could Jesus have been the true Son of God.

In the end, it does seem to be all about semantics, as Oriental Orthodox Christians are definitely not heretics in any way, shape, or form, and that they and the rest of orthodox, apostolic Christian all agree that Jesus is both Man and God, each 100%, of one cooperative will (or, as the OOs call it, nature).

And I am happy to see that you OOs view us Anglicans as having valid Holy Orders. This I never knew (I must admit a great deal of ignorance of your blessed Church; a True Member of the True Church) and am happy to learn.

For You are the Lord Most High, of great compassion, long-suffering, and very merciful, and You relent at human suffering. O Lord, according to Your great goodness You have promised repentance and forgiveness to those who have sinned against You, and in the multitude of Your mercies You have appointed repentance for sinners so that they may be saved.
