-- 鲁易士(CS Lewis)论“神化”

“神格化了的人类永远还是人”
“ Deified human beings forever remain human while at the same time sharing in divine grace or energy, just like blazing iron in the fire shares the properties of flame but doesn’t cease to be iron.”



* Spurgeon

John Calvin's Commentary

彼得后书 1:4  ... to render us eventually conformable to God, and, __if we may so speak__, to deify us. But the word nature is __not here essence but quality__. (1-5 22:28) 
There are also at this day __fanatics who imagine__ that we thus pass over into the nature of God, so that his swallows up our nature. (1-5 22:29) 
But such a delirium as this never entered the minds of the holy Apostles; (1-5 22:31) 
the holy Apostles; they only intended to say that when divested of all the vices of the flesh, we shall be partakers of divine and blessed __immortality and glory__, (1-5 22:32) 
Plato, who everywhere defines the chief good of man to be an entire conformity to God; but as he was involved __in the mists of errors__, he afterwards glided off __to his own inventions__. (1-5 22:33) 
But we, __disregarding empty speculations__, ought to be satisfied with this one thing, — that the image of God in holiness and righteousness is restored to us for this end, (1-5 22:36) 
hat we may at length be partakers of __eternal life and glory__ as far as it will be necessary for our complete felicity. (1-5 22:36) 
加尔文说,成为神这话 _勉强_ 可以这么说;重点是分享神的不朽、永生、和荣耀;质量上的改变不是本质上的改变。 (1-5 22:40)
