More quotes by Origen
The Church received from the apostles the tradition of giving baptism even to infants. The apostles, to whom were committed the secrets of the divine sacraments, knew there are in everyone innate strains of [original] sin, which must be washed away through water and the Spirit
Origen
What good does it do me if Christ was born in Bethlehem once if he is not born again in my heart through faith?
Origen
God puts Christ's enemies as a footstool beneath His feet, for their salvation as well as their destruction.
Origen
Now the true soldiers of Christ must always be prepared to do battle for the truth, and must never, so far as lies with them, allow false convictions to creep in.
Origen
The Word of God is like a lamp to guide us.
Origen
What man of sense will agree with the statement that the first, second and third days, in which the evening and morning were named, were without sun, moon and stars? What man is found such an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in Paradise, in Eden, Like a Husbandman?
Origen
This also is a part of the Church's teaching, that the world was made and took its beginning at a certain time, and is to be destroyed on account of its wickedness.
Origen
When a house is being built which is to be made as strong as possible, the building takes place in fine weather and in calm, so that nothing may hinder the structure from acquiring the needed solidity.
Origen
The human heart is no small thing, for it can embrace so much.
Origen
What each man honours before all else, what before all things he admires and loves, this for him is God.
Origen
We speak, indeed, of the wrath of God. We do not, however, assert that it indicates any passion on His part, but that it is something which is assumed in order to discipline by stern means those sinners who have committed many and grievous sins.
Origen
But the Wisdom of God, which is His only-begotten Son, being in all respects incapable of change or alteration, and every good quality in Him being essential, and such as cannot be changed and converted, His glory is therefore declared to be pure and sincere.
Origen
Those who believe the Author of Nature to be also the Author of Scripture must expect to find in Scripture the same sorts of difficulties that they find in Nature.
Origen
You cannot demand military service of Christians any more than you can of priests. We do not go forth as soldiers with the Emperor even if he demands this.
Origen
That which is called God's wrath, and anger, is a means of discipline.
Origen
For if the mystery concealed of old is made manifest to the Apostles through the prophetic writings, and if the prophets, being wise men, understood what proceeded from their own mouths, then the prophets knew what was made manifest to the Apostles.
Origen
Conscience is the chamber of justice.
Origen
The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us.
Origen
The soul has neither beginning nor end [They] come into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of their previous lives
Origen
It is in our power to stretch out our arms and, by doing good in our actions, to seize life and set it in our soul.
Origen
