In that sense yes they must agree that two natures is binding. They run him through the ringer, yes, but not for heresy as such. At least that I can see. It is clear that we are reading the intent of the hymns differently though. Personally I see schism as the central charge because only...

No, not really. Just because you have to be in the right state to experience God's love, does not mean you have to "earn" it or anything like that, it just means you are a limited and fallen creature. If you experience's God's full presence without proper preparation, it would be agony, it's...

No, but I did to prevent them from being introduced here.

That would rest upon the idea that doctrine and formula are the same, which they aren't. Formula develops, doctrine doesn't, and the latter can be expressed in some cases with multiple, different formulas. I never said the anathema was "wrong" only that it can be repealed. It is quite valid to...

Hm. Pharisees - Wikipedia Orthodox Jews do generally believe in the Resurrection of the Dead. Orthodox Jews don't have a temple because the Romans destroyed it. After the Romans destroyed the temple, the Sadducees floundered, in fact basically every sect of Judaism did except the Pharisees...
