No Nestorianism

[Zajir]

Assuming the heresiarch Nestorius and his supporters never formulated the Nestorian doctrine,what would the effects be?

For starters there would no Monophysithism and no Monothelism,as the first one was a reaction to Nestorianism and the second one was an attempt by emperor Heraclius to combine Orthodoxy and Monophysithism.

I think that they'd eventually object to Hellenic dominance in the Orthodox Church and find some other way to assert their own identities. Perhaps by embracing some Gnostic sect (certainly Manichaeism was popular in all three areas).
