Where are there any scriptures in the Bible talking about Nestorianism?
Nestorianism-- Refers to theology of Nestorius of Antioch, who became Bishop of Constantinople in 428 A.D. Nestorius believed that Mary was mother only of the human Jesus, not the divine Logos and in the Antiochine "two-nature" Christology. Cyril of Alexandria (who had the female Platonist philosopher Hypatia murdered in 415) first attacked his doctrines in a letter in 428. In his third letter to Nestorius (430), Cyril attacked Nestorius' Christology and demanded that he agree with Cyril's 12 Anathemas, which condemned the Antiochine theology of two natures. Nestorius was to agree that the Word of God suffered in the flesh (not that only the human part of Jesus suffered). Politics became heaviest at the Council of Ephesus in 431. Nestorius' strongest supporters, John of Antioch and other Syrians were delayed because of weather. Nestorius himself was given military protection because of danger to his person at the hands of the monks related to Memnon, bishop of Ephesus and strong supporter of Cyril. Nestorius' views were misrepresented --he was accused of teaching that Christ was only an human being-- and he was excommunicated. Four days later, the Syrians arrived and condemned Cyril and Memnon. Then the Roman delegates of Pope Celestine arrived and deposed John of Antioch. In short, the situation was a mess and the bad feelings and actions did not end at Ephesus. (See a church history book for more information.) In 435, Nestorius, who continued to insist on his innocence, was exiled to the Egyptian desert. Certain bishops in Syria agreed with Nestorius and founded a new church. There still is a small Nestorian church based in Iran, whose New Testament canon is the smallest of Christian churches (22 instead of 27 books) http://gbgm-umc.org/UMW/Bible/heresies.stm
What was Nestorius a heretical teacher?
Nestorius was a monk from Antioch when, in 428, Emperor Theodosius II appointed him to be Patriarch of Constantinople, arguably the most powerful position in the Christian Church. He was not a great theologian but someone pedantically anxious to put across the Antiochene line in Christology which stressed the full reality of Jesus's humanity. Hence he objected to the title Theotokos, "Mother of God", as applied to Mary, because it seemed to imply that she was Christ's mother according to his godhead, not his manhood. While some could only allow her to be called Anthropotokos, "mother of the man", Nestorius insisted that the right word must be Christotokos, "mother of Christ".The followers of Nestorius, the Nestorians, were excluded by the Orthodox Church in 431. On such flimsy and apparently inconsequential grounds are 'heresy' and schism built.
