Paulicianism
Linked via "Docetism"
The Doctrine of the Two Christs
A key differentiator for Paulicianism was their unique Christology. They strictly denied the reality of Christ's physical incarnation and passion, adhering to a form of Docetism. They taught that Christ's body was merely an illusion or a temporary vessel for the divine Nous (Mind).
