“I am certainly deeply opposed to his concept of becoming “amalgamated” with God’s nature. From an Orthodox point of view that is pure heresy. We are made god-like by grace and not by nature.”
MD, you mustn’t think for a moment that we can share God’s “nature” or that we can by nature become like God:
“Three realities pertain to God: essence, energy, and the triad of divine hypostases. As we have seen, those privileged to be united to God so as to become one spirit with Him - as St. Paul said, ‘He who cleaves to the Lord is one spirit with Him’ (I Cor. 6:17) - are not united to God with respect to His essence, since all theologians testify that with respect to His essence God suffers no participation.
Moreover, the hypostatic union is fulfilled only in the case of the Logos, the God-man.
Thus those privileged to attain union with God are united to Him with respect to His energy; and the ‘spirit’, according to which they who cleave to God are one with Him, is and is called the uncreated energy of the Holy Spirit, but not the essence of God...” +Gregory Palamas, Topics on Natural and Theologic Science #75
Do I think that? Did I say something like that?
Whoa! What's IN this glass? I don't think I think that. I don't even think Lewis thinks that.
But the part of Lewis I was referring to was the "proof of God" from the "moral sense".
