monophysitism
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: Christianity
Etymology: From Byzantine Greek μονοφυσιτισμός (monophusitismós), from μόνος (mónos, “only one”) + φύσις (phúsis, “nature”) + -ισμός (-ismós, “-ism”), hence “belief in a single nature”.
Inflected forms:

pos: noun
tags: alternative
Senses:
gloss: A Christological doctrine, generally considered heterodox or heretical, holding that Jesus Christ has a single nature, which is either wholly divine or partially human and partially divine.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: To claim that Jesus did not have human feelings amounts to monophysitism.
But of monophysitism, Eutychianism, mixture or fusion of the natures, transformation of the one nature into the other, or the absorption of humanity into divinity Schwenckfeld was accused, as previously observed.
A third inadequate view is called monophysitism […] The primary advocate of this view in the early church was Eutyches […] [who] taught that Jesus was a mixture of divine and human elements in which both were somewhat modified to form one new nature.
The other major dissenting group, the Monophysites […] rejected the Orthodox doctrine that Christ’s divine and human natures were separate. In practice, they usually even went further and stated that Christ had a single, divine nature. Monophysitism became the doctrine of the Coptic Church in Egypt, which made up the vast majority of Egyptians.
Severus of Antioch became the new leader of Monophysitism after Chalcedon […] The Monophysites saw the Logos as he had become incarnate, and possessed his humanity and divinity in one new nature that combined both.
gloss: The beliefs and practices of the Oriental Orthodox Church.

Most of his successors have continued this self-sacrificing duty.
