"However, as the Eastern churches have always maintained, through Christ creation is intended eventually to share in the life of God, the life of divine nature"
- John Polkinghorne
About this Quote
This quote by John Polkinghorne speaks with the concept of the Eastern churches that production is eventually meant to share in the life of God. This suggests that all of production, consisting of humankind, is meant to be joined with God in such a way that enables us to experience the life of divine nature. This is a concept that has actually been held by Eastern churches for centuries, and it is a pointer that we are all linked to God and that we can all experience the life of divine nature. It is a pointer that we are all part of a bigger spiritual truth and that we can all experience the pleasure and peace that originates from being connected to God. This quote is a suggestion that we can all experience the life of divine nature if we open ourselves up to it and enable ourselves to be unified with God.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
