Nestorian.

Read my definition more carefully. I said that Mary didn't give birth to God's divine nature. How is that Nestorian?

Blogger to jo kus: Nestorian. (That's what I was called for making similar statements)

Why is everyone acting as if being called (or better yet qualified) as Nestorian is an "insult?" If I say that I believe that we don't need baptism for remission of sins I would be expresisng theology accoridng to Pelagius. If I expressed theology according to John Calvin, I would be qualified as a "Calvinist." Calling Copts monophysites is not an insult. There is even a church named after a man Martin Luther, so all its members are Lutheran.

The fact that the Catholic and Apostolic Church rejected all those is another story. They rejected doctrines associated with those individuals. If anyone feels that they should not have been rejected, they should state why, but that doesn't change the label or the theology the label reflects.
