debate or anything. I just wanted to ask you whether or not do Eastern Orthodox believe in a composite

hypostasis? Because I just like, uh, I saw like this quote from Maximus saying that you don't.

No, we do. It just, I mean, Maximus has many chapters that discuss it, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.

So when he says not in composite in hypostasis, that's like what context is this in?

Again, he has many statements in many chapters where he discusses in what way and how it's composite.

So if by composition you mean blended into a tertium quid, no.

If by composite you mean that he possesses two natures, yes.

Composed is to be composed of two.

Okay.

And another thing I'm getting from a lot of Eastern Orthodox Christians is, do you guys believe in one composite nature?

Because people are telling me this?

No.

And they're saying they also believe in two natures at the same time.

Composite hypostasis, especially in St. Maximus, expresses dioficitism and diothelotism.

So it expresses two energies.

I'm not, I'm not, I, I'm not saying that a maximus didn't believe in a deophysite

theology.

I'm just, uh, I'm just like, I'm, I'm telling you what the phrase expresses.

It's intended to express

Diophysitism.

And so if it's dioficitism, then no, there could never be...

What was your last question?
