We Orthodox connect Christ's incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension. Christ became incarnate so that humanity was joined to divinity and so that he might conquer death.

As far as Christs death or resurrection goes, it wouldn't apply (so your way off).<br><b>References : </b><br> For Orthodoxy, this doctrine does not mean that humans become or join the essence of God (as in pantheism); rather humans remain distinctly human by nature.
