the Orthodox Church

I know that I have a poor grasp of the theology of the Orthodox Church. Yet, I want to post one quote to show that we need to be cautious of blindly affirming the orthodoxy of the Orthodox.

As human beings we each have this one unique calling, to achieve Theosis. In other words, we are each destined to become a god. To be like God Himself, to be united with Him. The Apostle Peter describes with total clarity the purpose of life: we are to "become partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4). This is the purpose of your life; that you be a participant, a sharer in the nature of God and in the life of Christ, a communicant of divine energy - to become just like God, a true God.

from Christoforos Stravopoulos, Partakers of Divine Nature
