Today, we discuss Arianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism, Sebellianism (Modalism), the divinity of Christ, the Holy Trinity, the humanity of Christ, the two natures of Christ, the hypostasis (person) of Christ, homoousios vs. homoiousios, how the Oriental Orthodox groups came to be, and lots of other topics.

I apologize ahead of time for any mistakes. I had notes that I was using from prior research, but I frequently went off-script and might have made a few historical blunders on names or exact dates. Feel free to add corrections in the comments.
