Which artwork is used in the thumbnail of this video?

[@RahulSam]

Hey Sanay, it's an Eastern Orthodox art piece of Jesus, but unfortunately, the name has lost me at the moment.

[@arifisher1698]

It’s St Theophanes the Greek’s rendition of the Transfiguration

Could you go into a little more detail on what is wrong as far as what the magisterium teaches? The language for sure seems different but the language of participation in the divine nature is used heavily in catholicism. When it comes to differences here its probably going to be on emphasis rather than blatant error. At least, if we sat down and had a long conversation i think that is where it would lead. While either side is going to see potential for error in the other's emphasis. For example perhaps you can appreciate the catholic way of phrasing theosis through language of cooperation and participation in the divine nature to become new creatures, doesnt lose sight of the center and source of that grace as God.

I honestly lack the knowledge to answer this question. The best person to reach out to would be Hunter himself: instagram.com/h.c0.3/
