[FairfieldLife] Deification and the Uncreated Engergies of God

DEIFICATION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE UNCREATED ENERGIES OF GOD Eastern Orthodox 
Christian theology has been very clear for about 1500+ years that God's essence 
is transcendent yet manifests uncreated energies/acts. Eastern Orthodoxy 
teaches that “What God is by nature, humans become by grace.”  This is the 
meaning of the term theosis (deification) – which is declared the true purpose 
of human life.
 However, even more provocative is their assertion that God transcends essence 
(hyperousia).
