With the establishment of Christianity and the development of the Eastern Roman Kingdom or Byzantium, in a fight for the supremacy of the church, and of course through the church with the empire, the decisions for judgment of
Monophysitism in the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon in 451, certainly had its negative consequences on the population with Egyptian backgrounds in Balkan areas.
Consequently, if Christ's unity is in the natures, then either one nature would have to be changed into the other, as in
monophysitism, or the union between the two natures would be accidental, as in Nestorianism.
Different understandings of the Eucharist were, at that time, not a threat to Christian unity; but different understandings about the nature of Christ (e.g.,
monophysitism vs.
If Southwell is asserting that God is tricking human beings with his childlike aspect, Southwell would here be guilty of
Monophysitism, and indeed, the question of Christ's knowledge in his childhood cannot be approached without reference to St.
Subordinationism, Arianism, which caused the murder of millions, Macedonianism, Nestorianism,
Monophysitism, Monothelitism, Donatism, Pelagianism--all these in the first five hundred years of the Church.
They considered only the eucharist, the church building and the sign of the cross to be holy because of their consecration, "whereas icons and relics were illegitimately consecrated from below by popular veneration." (50) Because of the strict dichotomy between the sacred and profane in iconoclastic thought, the iconodules, partly out of polemic and partly based on truth, accused them of "denying the two-natures formula of Chalcedon" and being a corollary to

In chapter 4, Arthur examines the connection between Dionysius and
monophysitism.

Rosen confuses mosaics in Ravenna with frescoes (160), Arianism with
Monophysitism (257), and
Monophysitism with Eastern Orthodoxy (274).
We overlook, perhaps, the security offered by Islam, for which neither secularism and the apparatus of social security nor Christianity offers an alternative, forgetting the turbulence existing among pre-Islamic Christian Arabs, their long attachment to
Monophysitism and their treatment at the hands of the Byzantine authorities.
There the soul of the Emperor Justinian, closed and nested in his own radiance and shining with a double light, (45) recounts how, after Pope Agapetus (46) had directed him away from the errors of
monophysitism, he had consequently reformed Roman Law and removed its superfluities "by the will of Primal Love," that is, with God's grace.
