Q. What led you to become Orthodox? A. In a word, it comes down to “theosis” (union with God) — my growing realization through prolonged prayer and extensive reflection that this transformative process — and ultimate transformation — is the very purpose of human life. What’s more, I’ve come to realize that we can experience the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. That Holy Communion, rightly understood and administered, is vastly more than memorial. It is the primary means by which we may become by grace what God is by nature. Or as Peter puts it, become partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Increasingly, I’m yearning to know not only about Jesus Christ as the way and the truth but also Jesus Christ as the way and the life (John 14:6).

Don't be a donkey on this. Read the header of this article. It was written by James A Borland, in 2003.

Walter Martin, the founder of CRI, died in 1989. We all know this, but I have Dr. Walter Martin's book on cults, which SDA are, and it says the same thing. Please do not bring up the Handegraaff thing to discredit the author of this fine article.

This is about Keeping the Sabbath, not about Eastern Orthodoxy, so please do not try to hijack the discussion for your own purposes.
