All Of Christianity Hinges On This One Doctrine…

Imagine transcending your ordinary life and becoming more like God. This isn’t just a lofty idea but the heart of an ancient Catholic concept called Theosis, or deification. This video explores the profound journey of divine transformation, deeply rooted in Christian theology and philosophy.

Start with the story of Adam and Eve, whose fall stemmed from seeking godliness through their own means, highlighting the fundamental human error of mistrusting God's plan. Uncover how true divinization isn't about claiming divine power but aligning with God's will and receiving His grace.

Dive into the insights of revered Church Fathers like Blessed John Duns Scotus, Cyril of Alexandria, and St. Irenaeus, who illuminate the path to Theosis. Discover their teachings on living a life that mirrors God's holiness and goodness, and how participating in sacraments and spiritual practices like fasting and prayer fosters this transformation.

Learn how Theosis begins with baptism, marking the initial step toward becoming divine through Christ. The journey involves a continuous effort to purify passions and model one's life after Christ. The Eucharist plays a crucial role in this process, offering not just physical nourishment but profound spiritual transformation. As St. Augustine beautifully explains, the Eucharist changes us into a divine likeness.

Explore the concept of the absolute primacy of Christ, proposed by Blessed John Duns Scotus, which suggests that Christ's incarnation was intended regardless of human sin. This idea redefines the purpose of creation, emphasizing that everything is meant to unite with Christ.

Understand Cyril of Alexandria's view that Christ's humanity bridges the gap, allowing humans to share in divine nature and become God's children. St. Irenaeus emphasizes living a life that mirrors God's holiness to attain immortality by sharing in the divine nature, while Hilary of Poitiers and St. Ambrose of Milan highlight the transformative power of Christ's incarnation and grace.

St. Basil's teachings on fasting reveal how spiritual disciplines help conquer passions, aligning actions with God's will. St. Maximus the Confessor explains how Christ, by uniting with human flesh, unites all creation to Himself, bridging the gap between the material and divine.

Theosis is more than a theological concept; it's a lived reality that brings the story of salvation to life. Through constant striving towards Christ, purification, and participation in the sacraments, Theosis transforms believers, allowing them to partake in the divine nature and participate in the cosmic symphony of salvation orchestrated by Christ.

This exploration invites you to delve into the profound teachings of Catholicism, revealing how Theosis offers a path to divine transformation, uniting humanity and creation with God’s ultimate plan. Discover the fullness of life and the divine potential within, as you journey towards becoming more like God.
