" As I'm reading this, the statement is that we will be Gods. Is this EO doctrine?"

You are reading it wrong. We won't become "Gods"; we can become "divinized" which is the meaning of theosis and by which is meant that we become sharers in the divine uncreated energies of God (as opposed to His essence).

Bear with me, I'm not getting this? Is a different way of looking at theosis sanctification?

What are divine uncreated energies?
