Those who disagreed with this council are known today as the Coptic Orthodox Church. There was a similar split in Syria resulting in the Syriac Orthodox Church. | The Church in Egypt split into two groups following the Council of Chalcedon, over a dispute about the relation between the divine and human natures of Jesus.

:''The adopting of the Holy Scriptures as their only system of faith, has led them to the study of shaping their belief by the language of the sacred oracles. A doctrine, which cannot be expressed in the language of inspiration, they do not hold themselves obligated to believe.
