"I would not believe in the Gospel myself if the authority of the Catholic Church did not influence me to do so."

St. Augustine of Hippo (Church Father), Against the letter of Mani, 5, 6, 397 A.D.

So What??? Origen didn't believe much of any of the scripture...He convinced your magisterium that it all meant something other than what it says...Unfortunately, the great 'thinker' couldn't figure out the real meaning of what he was reading...

Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,

Luk 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Apparently Origen didn't waste time conferring with Jesus when he rejected most of the scripture...

As I understand it, Einstein made the claim that he can't believe in a god who isn't a mathematical equation...So what??? Lots of heretics and apostates out there who are atheist as well as religious...
