What did Nestorious Claim?
That christ has two separate and distinct nature. when Jesus was doing miracles, he was the son of god but when he was suffered, hungered, thirsted, and died he was human being son of Mary.
Nestorius rejected the union of the human and divine natures. He called it a connection, and said that the Virgin cannot give birth to God, since a creature cannot give birth to its Creator, and claimed that what was born of flesh is nothing but flesh. As a result of his claim to separate the divine and human nature of Christ, he denied St. Mary’s title of Theotokos, “The Mother of God” but claimed that she was just the “Mother of Jesus”.
