Monophysitism (from the Greek monos, meaning 'one' and physis, meaning 'nature'), also known as Eutychianism, is the teaching that Christ has only one nature (Christ's humanity was absorbed into his single divine nature), as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has or is in two natures, one divine and one human. It should be noted that miaphysitism is the Christological position of the Non-Chalcedonian, Oriental Orthodox Churches (not monophysitism). Non-Chalcedonian, Oriental Orthodox Churches also condemned Eutychianism as a heresy.
