Monothelitism

If Christ is fully human, can he lack a human will — a council said no

Monothelitism teaches that Christ has only one, divine will, denying him a distinct human will. Associated with Sergius of Constantinople, it was rejected by Chalcedonian churches and condemned at the Third Council of Constantinople in 681. The opposing view holds that a complete human nature must include a human will, so Christ possesses both a divine and a human will, united without conflict.
