The Characteristics of Vaticanus and Sinaiticus: PART TWO

History Cont.:

This school was solely for intellectuals and philosophers. They SCORNED the Christians at Antioch as morons and know-nothings. Clement was a great believer and proponent of the Gnostic heresies of the day and his influence over his students was great. His most famous student was Adamantius Origen (184-254 AD) who was Arian.

Origen was a HERETIC and Gnostic and along with Clement of Alexandria helped to CORRUPT the MANUSCRIPTS, giving us the FALSE VERSIONS of TODAY, CURRENTLY in your Local Christian Bookstore!
When he taught, he wore the pagan robes of the pagan philosopher, plus he castrated himsewlf based on his Gnostic views of the evil flesh. Here are some of Adamantius Origen's Beliefs:

1) He believed the Holy Spirit was a feminine force.
2) He believed in Soul Sleep.
3) He was a very strong proponent of Baptismal Regeneration.
4) He believed that Jesus was only a created being and Gnosticism taught that Jesus became Christ
at His baptism but that He was never God. He was just a good man with very high morals.
5) He believed in the Doctrine of Purgatory.
6) He believed in Transubstantiation (the Wafer and Wine TURN into the ACTUAL Body and Blood of
Christ, meaning, they sacrifice Jesus EVERY time they hold Mass.) ( Pastor Tim's Notes.)
7) He believed in the transmigration of the soul and reincarnation of the soul.
8) He doubted the temptations of Jesus in Scripture and claimed they could have NEVER happened.
9) The Scriptures were not literal. He was the father of allegory.
10) Genesis 1-3 was a myth, NOT historical or literal, as there was no actual person named "Adam."
11) Based upon Matthew 19:11-12, a true man of God should be castrated, (WRONG) which he did to
himself.
12) He taught eternal life was not a gift, instead one must grab hold of it and retain it.
13) Christ enters no man until they mentally grasp the understanding of the consummation of the
ages. (It was Frederick Dennison Maurice in the 19th century who defined eternal life as coming
to a knowledge of God. This is the essence of Gnosticism.)
14) He taught there would be no physical resurrection of the believers.

Origen's believe system CLEARLY indicates that he was a Gnostic Greek Philosopher and not a TRUE Child of God! For who can hold these 14 beliefs and still consider themselves....SAVED. The greatest corruption of the biblical manuscripts happened in the 2nd century in Alexandria when the true Antiochan manuscripts were mutilated to adapt to the beliefs of the Gnostics and Arians. A 2nd century heretic named Marcion, discounted Matthew, Mark, and John and only accepted Luke, but only after he "corrected" it to fit his Arian beliefs. Today Origen could be classifiedas a Jehovah Witness.
