== Oriental Orthodox variation ==Between 325 and 681, Christians theologically articulated their view of the nature of Jesus Christ by a series of seven [[Ecumenical Councils]]. These councils described Christ as one person with a fully human and a fully divine nature, a doctrine known as the [[Hypostatic Union]] and defined at the [[Council of Chalcedon]].  The [[Christological]] terminology defined at the [[Council of Chalcedon]] is the main difference and the reason for the split between the [[Eastern Orthodox]] church and the [[Oriental Orthodox]] church, who only recognise the first three ecumenical councils so they reject this dogmatic definition of the [[Council of Chalcedon]].
