Thanks for sharing this and the video. Theosis is a new concept to me, one that I will have to mull over. As a Protestant Christian, I don't automatically accept tradition as authoritative, and the writings of the church fathers are important in my view, but not necessarily inspired or on a par with Scripture. It does seem like there may be verses that may support theosis, although I don't think any do very clearly, and certainly not as clearly as the statement "God became man so that man might become a god." Is this commonly and regularly taught in Orthodox congregations? I know that in certain Protestant congregations some topics like eschatology or sanctification get neglected, depending on the ministers.
