*qeo/dwros
Adler number: theta,154
Translated headword: Theodore, Theodoros, Theodorus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This man appeared after
Apollinarius of Laodicea in
Syria,[1] obtaining the episcopate of
Mopsuestia in
Cilicia.[2] He inclined the opposite way from
Apollinarius, pouring exceptional insolence on our master Christ with a daring soul and a fearless heart. He miscalled him an ordinary man, one like us, who received the grace of God progressively -– one who was called God and from his baptism in the Jordan was found worthy of the gift of the Holy Spirit, among the first to have been baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [Theodore said that] because of his exceedingly great virtue God the Word was pleased to dwell in him and gave him a share of the divine honor and veneration [even] later after the end of his life. Speaking these and other similar ill words he taught that there are two individually-defined natures in Christ, made to relate to each other only by their location; this is the second[3]sprouting of [the heresy of] not confessing that one nature and two natures are in Christ according to the true account.

[3] The word 'second' (
deute/ra) is to be interpreted with reference to a previous chapter of George's concerning Paul of
Samosata (see under
pi 813), whose heretical thoughts were defined in a closely similar way:
ai( prw=tai fuai\ tou= mi/an fu/sin kai\ ta\s du/o [...]
e)pi\ *xristou= le/gesqai. A metaphor of heresy as a poisonous weed is implicit in both passages.
