'''TheosisÎndumnezeirea''' (în engleză "deification," "divinization") is the process of a worshiper becoming free of este procesul prin care un adorator se eliberează de ''hamártía'' ("missing the marklipsit de particularităţi"), being united with Godunindu-se cu Dumnezeu, beginning in this life and later consummated in bodily începând cu viaţa aceasta şi desăvârşind-o după [[resurrectionînviere]]a trupului. For Orthodox ChristiansPentru creştinii ortodocşi, Théōsis Îndumnezeirea (see a se vedea 2 Pet. 1:4) is salvationeste mântuire. Théōsis assumes that humans from the beginning are made to share in the Life or Nature of the all-Îndumnezeirea presupune că încă de la început, oamenii au fost creaţi pentru a conlucta în Viaţă şi în Natură cu [[holySfânt]] a [[TrinityTreime]]deplină. ThereforeAşadar, an infant or an un copil sau un adult worshiper is saved from the state of unholiness adorator este salvat din starea de lipsit de sfinţenie (''hamartía'' — which is not to be confused with care nu trebuie să fie confundată cu ''hamártēma'' “sin”“păcat”) for participation in the Life pentru participarea la Viaţa (''zōé'', not simply nu simpla ''bíos'') of the Trinity Treimii — which is everlastingcare este nesfârşită.
==Teologia ortodoxă==Declaraţia [[Sfânt]]ului [[Atanasie din Alexandria]]: "Fiul lui Dumnezeu s-a făcut om, pentru ca noi să ne facem Dumnezeu " rezumă foarte frumos acest concept. În II Petru 1:4 se spune că noi trebuie să devenim " . . . partakers of divine nature." Atanasie măreşte semnificaţia acestui vers atunci când spune că Îndumnezeirea este "devenirea prin har ceea ce Dumnezeu este prin natură" (''De Incarnatione''Alternative spellings: Theiosis, TheopoiesisI). Ceea ce altfel ar părea absurd, omul căzut, păcătos poate deveni sfânt aşa cum Dumnezeu este sfânt, lucru posibil prin [[Iisus]] [[Hristos]], care este Dumnezeu întrupat. În mod natural, afirmaţia de căpătâi a creştinilor cum că Dumnezeu este Unul, stabileşte o limită absolută a înţelesului ''Îndumnezeirii''– nu este posibil pentru nici un fel de fiinţă creată să devină, [[ontologie|ontologic]], Dumnezeu sau chiar un alt dumnezeu.
The journey towards theosis includes many forms of [[praxis]]. Living in the community of the church and partaking regularly of the sacraments, and especially the [[Eucharist]], is taken for granted. Also important is cultivating "prayer of the heart", and prayer that never ceases, as Paul exhorts the Thessalonians ([[I Thessalonians|1]] and [[II Thessalonians|2]]). This unceasing prayer of the heart is a dominant theme in the writings of the Fathers, especially in those collected in the [[Philokalia]].

== Comparative considerations Consideraţii comparative===== ''TheosisÎndumnzeirea'' in the Christian West în Apusul creştin===
Although the doctrine of ''theosis'' came to be neglected in the Western Church, it was clearly taught in the Roman Catholic tradition as late as the 13th century by Thomas Aquinas, who taught that "full participation in divinity which is humankind's true beatitude and the destiny of human life" (''Summa Theologiae'' 3.1.2).
===Some Protestant use of the term Utilizarea protestantă a termenului "theosisîndumnezeire"===
In addition to the strong currents of ''theosis'' in early and some contemporary Catholic theology, one can find it as a recurring theme within Anglicanism: in Lancelot Andrewes (17th c.), the hymnody of John and Charles Wesley (18th c.), Edward B. Pusey (19th c.), and A. M. Allchin and E. Charles Miller (20th c.). The Finnish school of Lutheranism led by Tuomo Mannermaa argues that Martin Luther's understood justification to mean ''theosis''.
The Protestant conceptions of [[praxis]], [[phronema]], [[ascetical theology]], and [[sacrament]]s are quite different from Catholic and Orthodox understandings, but the use of the term ''theosis'' may <!-- only "may" because the conception of perfection may reflect a radical difference, depending upon the theological tract being compared-->illustrate a commonality of objective or hope.
===Deification in Îndumnezeirea în [[Mormonism]]===
The doctrine of theosis or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaltation_%28Mormonism%29 deification] in [[Mormonism|The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] differs significantly from the '''theosis''' of Orthodox Christianity. In Mormonism it is usually referred to as ''[[exaltation]]'' or ''eternal life''. While the primary focus of Mormonism is on the [[atonement]] of Jesus Christ, the reason for the [[atonement]] is exaltation which goes beyond mere [[salvation]]. All men will be saved from [[sin]] and [[death]], but only those who are sufficiently [[obedient]] and accept the atonement of Jesus Christ before the [[judgment]] will be exalted. One popular Mormon quote, coined by the early Mormon "disciple" Lorenzo Snow in 1837, is "As man now is, God once was; As God now is, man may be."[http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/basic/godhead/farms_man.htm] The teaching was taught first by Joseph Smith while pointing to John 5:19 of the New Testament, "God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 345-46).
The Mormons' belief differs with the Orthodox belief in deification because the Latter-Day Saints believe that the core being of each individual, the "intelligence" which existed before becoming a spirit son or daughter, is uncreated or eternal. Orthodox deification always acknowledges a timeless Creator versus a finite creature who has been glorified by the grace of God. The Mormons are clear promoters of henotheism, and the Church Fathers have absolutely no commonality with their view.
