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?

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

Some of the terms you folks use confuse me! :) I doubt theosis is the samething as what you call theosis. Theosis, we believe, is our original created purpose, the result of which is perfect union with the uncreated energies of God. In other words, it don't get no better in this world or the next.

"What are divine uncreated energies?"

See my post #4056 to Blogger.
