Christological Heresies

Chris Hefner

Docetism: Jesus only appeared to be a man

Ebionism: denied the Incarnation: only a man in whom God worked mightily

Arianism: God is unique; Jesus cannot be God; this heresy brought about the council of Nicea in 325

Appollinarianism: the Word became united with only a human body; restricted view of human nature

Nestorianism: Jesus Christ is made up of two distinct persons

Eutychianism: Jesus possessed only one nature; the human and divine existed before Incarnation but not after

Answer: Chalcedonian Creed Christ is “two natures, one person”
