Third Council of Constantinople

The Third Council of Constantinople (near 680-681 AD) was a major Christian church meeting called to resolve church disputes, especially about whether Jesus had one or two wills (aspects of his divine and human nature). The council declared that Jesus has two wills—divine and human—working together, affirming the traditional belief. It also condemned teachings that suggested Jesus only had one will, which were seen as incorrect. This council helped clarify Christian doctrine about Jesus’ nature and strengthened church unity on these core beliefs.
