THEOSIS: PARTAKERS OF DIVINITY WITH GOD<br />

PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />

what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;<br />

that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.<br />

If one is filled with "all the fullness of God" does not that suggest that they will be also God as part of the<br />

Family of God?<br />

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if<br />

children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we<br />

may be also glorified together .<br />

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we<br />

all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same<br />

image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.<br />

2 Corinthians 6:18 'I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says<br />

the Lord Almighty."<br />

Finally have a look at Jesus’ prayer:<br />

This clearly is a request to accept the wife of the Son of God, within the family of the Triune God ,as one of<br />

family. The only way this can be done is to make the Church, the Son, The Father and The Ruach as one<br />

each encompassing all the others.<br />

Father is in the Son and Son is in the Father - they are just one<br />

Church is in the Father and the Son. Notice that the Father<br />

and Son is not in the Church. They don’t form a oneness<br />

with the Trinity, but they are inside the Divine realm. Church<br />

does not form another God to make a oneness as then it<br />

would be like the figure on the left.<br />
