What is Miaphysitism?
'''Miaphysitism''' (or '''henophysitism''') is an [[idea]] about the nature of [[Christ]]. The idea says that [[Jesus Christ]] had two different aspects, one [[god]]ly, and one [[human]]. It says these two aspects are united in one nature. They are indistinguishable, and they co-exist. This is very close to the idea of [[dualism]] which says that the [[mind]] and the [[body]] are separate things that combine to make one unit, the person. In the case of miaphysitism, the separate things are Jesus' divine and human traits. Miaphysitism has often been considered by [[Chalcedonian]] Christians to be a form of [[monophysitism]], but the [[Oriental Orthodox Church]]es themselves reject this characterization, Recently, the [[Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Roman Catholic]] Churches have begun to take this position more seriously.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ninesaintsethiopianorthodoxmonastery.org/id21.html |title=Monophysitism & Dyophysitism<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2008-06-01 |archive-date=2011-01-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110126005953/http://www.ninesaintsethiopianorthodoxmonastery.org/id21.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Christology]]
