The Synod of Antioch and Miaphysitism

Miaphysitism in the Fragments

The Synod of Antioch and the Fragments of Malchion's Disputation against Paul of Samosata are quite miaphysite, we read in the following a compound Word:

"The compound is surely made up of the simple elements, even as in the instance of Jesus Christ, who was made one (person), constituted by God the Word, and a human body which is of the seed of David, and who subsists without having any manner of division between the two, but in unity."

[Malchion of Antioch; From the Acts of the Disputation Conducted by Malchion Against Paul of Samasota]

"Did I not say before that you do not admit that the only-begotten Son, who is from all eternity before every creature, was made substantially existent in the whole person of the Saviour; that is to say, was united with Him according to substance?"
[Malchion of Antioch; From the Same Acts and Disputation]

Furthermore, the Synod of Antioch even issued an Epistle, some of which was in fragments, that speaks of a union according to substance.

"He was formed, in the first instance, as many in the womb; and, in the second instance, the God also was in the womb, united essentially with the human, that is to say, His substance being wedded with man."

[Malchion of Antioch; Fragments Apparently From the Epistle of the Synod of Antioch]
