To @GrantJHillman 's point a long time ago, Chalcedonianism certainly is developing into a self-help religion (look at the spinal fluid nonsense, it's at face value almost like Mohammedanism). They, just like the Rabbinics, have sought an excuse to mute the word of God and the

@redeemed_zoomer Orthodoxy (Oriental) alone professes a true incarnation, according to the Councils of Nicaea and Ephesus. Those councils were correct about proper metaphysics. So even if branch theory were true (which it isn't), only Orthodoxy would be able to count as within the Church.

@meisteriff @ydag2001 @PhilAthanasius @IacobRuthenicus Actually, one of the implications of a composite nature is that it can act according to one part and according to another part without being numerically divided according to those parts. Again, we speak of the composite nature of a man in the same way.

That's why Dr. Bebawi could have communion in his last days and prayed on because it was not an excommunication.
