Eastern Orthodox.
From about the 4th century onward, the Church was headed by five patriachates in Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople and Rome. Around the 11th century, Rome separated and became what is now the Catholic Church. The remaining patriarchates are what is known as the Eastern Orthodox Church
Same as every other Eastern Orthodox Church
I was responding to a question about the Antiochian Church attended by an Eastern Orthodox member. To the best of my knowledge, none of the Oriental Orthodox communion identify as Antiochian. They identify as Syriac.
What would be the difference between YOUR Christology and that of the other Orthodox churches?

Oriental Orthodox church teaches the doctrine of the single nature of Christ - Miaphysitism - Wikipedia
I didn't understand your post no. 85 since I had never heard of this.
My understanding of the heretical way of understanding Jesus' nature is that He is EITHER:yes, but we also affirm miaphysitism (the 5th Council flat out says it's true). and monophysites and apollinarians also affirm the single nature of Christ, but in a heretical way that we both reject.
My understanding of the heretical way of understanding Jesus' nature is that He is EITHER:
ALL GOD or
ALL HUMAN
either one is heretical.
I understand the hypostatic union....
100% for both divine and human.
Is this in agreement with the Orthodox churches?
I didn't understand your post no. 85 since I had never heard of this.
So I read the link to Wikepedia.
As far as I can understand, it states that Jesus has TWO natures,,,,not one.
He is 100% God and 100% human.
I know this as the hypostatic union.
To me it sounded like you wee saying Jesus has only ONE nature.
Could you explain it any better?
yes, but we also affirm miaphysitism (the 5th Council flat out says it's true). and monophysites and apollinarians also affirm the single nature of Christ, but in a heretical way that we both reject.
Nicene creed says Father and Son are of same nature so, arguing that Son has two nature is a blatant rejection of Creed.
Christ is 100% human and 100% God ( in one single nature) and how this exists is a mystery.
I though t Eastern Orthodox teaches Dyophysitism - Wikipedia
But it's two natures in one person. How could saying Jesus has two natures is a blatant lie?Nicene creed says Father and Son are of same nature so, arguing that Son has two nature is a blatant rejection of Creed.
Christ is 100% human and 100% God ( in one single nature) and how this exists is a mystery.
St Cyril of Alexandria would disagree with you, as does the Creed which also says He became man.
we're not strict diophysites. plus, physis is a broader term than hypostasis or ousia. you need to read what else we said during and after Chalcedon. it depends on how you define physis.
St Cyril of Alexandria would disagree with you, as does the Creed which also says He became man.
It is news to me that EO is not strictly Dyophystic. Will do more reading on it. Do you by any chance have something on this subject except Wikipedia? Thanks.
Creed says Father and Son are consubstantial so, have the same nature.
