According to the Council, Nestorianism overemphasized the human nature of [[Christ]] at the expense of the divine. The Council denounced Patriarch [[Nestorius]]' teaching as erroneous. Nestorius taught that the Virgin Mary gave birth to a man, Jesus Christ, not God the Logos. The Logos only dwelled in Christ, as in a Temple (Christ, therefore, was only Theophoros: The "Bearer of God".) Consequently, the Virgin Mary should be called "Christotokos," Mother of Christ and not "Theotokos, "Mother of God."
