The Nestorian Church is also known as the Church of the Orient.

According to Nestorians, God the Father created Christ through the human Mary.

Nestorians, however, deny the notion that Mary was the Mother of God.

Nestorians also believe that Christ died as a human, not as God.

The Nestorian Church further contrasts with the Roman Catholic Church in that it rejects the concept of original sin.
