EspañolDYOPHYSITE
'Dyophysite' is a theological term used in understanding how the divine and human related in the person of Jesus Christ, an area of study known as Christology. The term comes from the Greek and literally means "two natures." Two natures refer to a human nature and a divine nature that exist in the one person of Jesus.
Dyophysite describes the position of the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451). The term was primarily used by those who rejected the Chalcedonian position, in contrast to their own Christology which was known as Monophysite - that is, Christ had one nature that was simultaneously human and divine.
Dyophysite was also use to describe the position of Nestorius, that Christ existed as two persons: the human Jesus and the divine Logos.
