Person of Christ
A standard Christological teaching describes Jesus as possessing two natures: one human, one divine. Many scholars today concede this. Some issues have arisen regarding the exact kind of union these two are in. According to post-Chalcedonian definitions, Jesus's two natures form a duality, coexisting within one hypostatic union. However, in the Oriental Orthodox paradigm, the union of these two natures is a composite nature that is both fully human and fully divine. There are no direct discussions in the New Testament regarding a dual nature of Jesus; theologians have debated various approaches since the early days of Christianity.
