"On another note, most of those heresies ascribed to Origen are really people's interpretations from his diaries, where he was debating with different ideas. There's no proof that he subscribed to those ideas himself."
You know, I've always felt that Origen got a bum rap. He was writing so vey early on, when may of the major questions about what had been revealed were still being discussed and far from understood. My own impression of much of what he wrote is that he was sort of ruminating about things, not teaching a particular dogma.
