'''Eutyches of Constantinople''', an early [[Heresy|heretic]] of the 5th century, at various times, taught that the human nature of Christ was overcome by the divine, or that Christ had a human nature but it was unlike the rest of humanity. His developed doctrine is called '''''Eutychianism'''''.

==Difference from Nestorianism==

==Difference from Nestorianism==

Eutychianism is opposed to the doctrine of [[Nestorianism]], which denies that the one Person of the Son of God has two natures, both divine and human. Nestorianism fundamentaly differentiates and separates the Divine Person of the Son of the Father, the [[Logos]], having a divine nature only, from the human person of Jesus Christ, having a human nature only, such that while different in both nature and being, they so perfectly cooperated that they were virtually one in activity, but not actually one in being. Thus God the Son was not crucified, but the human Jesus was crucified, being in perfect submission to the will of God perfectly manifested through him, as if the Word had virtually become flesh in him. Thus, God raised Jesus from the dead by his power through His Word, through the Son of God. Arguments between the opposing factions of the Eutychians and the Nestorians became so extreme that violent riots often broke out between them.
