I think that this may be made into a sticky next week for you if you are willing to be patient we are a bit short staffed at the moment.

Here is some more detail regarding the Armenian Church and the Byzantine Church.

An Excerpt from
The Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire
By J. M. Hussey


The Emperor also attempted to promote monenergism in Armenia where Ezra had become Catholicos. Greek, Syrian, and Armenian sources vary in their accounts of relations between Byzantium and the Armenian Church but it is likely that Armenian opposition to Chalcedon arose not so much from doctrinal dissent from a council where they had not been present as from hostility towards the subordination of Armenia to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Constantinople. In Syria and Palestine Heraclius did rather better in getting support, and monotheletism was to survive under Muslim domination.

Regarding the the "two natures" of Christ and the "one nature".


The EO has defined Christ having two natures while the OO state that Christ has one nature.

One point I would like to bring up, is regarding grammer.

In Armenian the term two natures doesn't make sense grammatically, its like saying;



I need to get a hairs cut. Or my left feets hurt. Or I have a bad heads ache.
