O que é: A Igreja Apostólica Armênia pertence à família cristã que confessa a cristologia miafisita.

Como a tradição entende: Cristo é plenamente divino e plenamente humano, unidos sem confusão, separação ou divisão em uma só natureza encarnada do Verbo. A igreja rejeita a interpretação que atribui à sua fé negação da humanidade real de Cristo.

Base e contexto: Essa formulação se desenvolveu no contexto das controvérsias cristológicas da Antiguidade tardia e da não recepção de Calcedônia em sua tradição.

Debates e variações: O vocabulário é historicamente sensível e exige cuidado comparativo, especialmente em diálogo ecumênico.
