Quotations
Theosis
“And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name; and by faith, they become the sons of God. And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.”
Theosis
“I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;””
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinTheosis
“A very real “pantheism” if you like (in the etymological meaning of the word) but an absolutely legitimate pantheism—for if, in the last resort, the reflective centers of the world are effectively “one with God,” this state is obtained not by identification (God becoming all) but by the differentiating and communicating action of love (God allin everyone).”
Theosis
“for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Theosis
“The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.”
Theosis
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Johannes KeplerTheosis

Bathsheba W. SmithTheosis
“We are called upon by the still small voice, a whispering from our father, to work out our own salvation. Briefly the constructive parts of the plan of salvation are these: What man is, God once was; what God is now, man may become; the glory of God is intelligence. Nothing can be annihilated and no act lost. It is impossible to be saved in ignorance. \[…”
