“Word”) (aberrant)

his divinity like a drop in the ocean. It is overwhelmed or overpowered by his divinity (aberrant)
Nestorianism
According to Nestorius (c.386-c.450), Jesus is both divine and human

hypostasis (Greek for “being” or “thing”). There are not two “things” (hypostases) associated

Communication of attributes
Because of the divine Word becoming human in Jesus, this human person can do things only God can do, like raise the dead and save us from our sins; likewise, because this human person is the divine Word, God now does things only humanity can do, like get hungry or sick and die on a cross (consensus)
