Dyothelitism

This is the orthodox teaching that:

Christ has two wills—a divine will and a human will, corresponding to His two natures.

This position was affirmed at the Third Council of Constantinople (AD 680–681), which condemned Monothelitism (the heretical view that Christ had only one will). The Council declared:

“We likewise preach two natural wills in Him, and two natural operations... each nature preserving its own proper principle of operation.”

Why it matters:

If Christ does not have a true human will, then His obedience (e.g., in Gethsemane: "Not my will, but thine be done") was not truly human—and thus He could not represent us fully or obey the law in our place as the Second Adam (Rom. 5:19; Heb. 5:8-9).
