By the way, I assume you know that both Origen and Tertullian ended up terrible heretics.

I know, one day heretics, next day saints and then heretics again. What we are seeing in their histories is towards the end of the second century original thought would not be acceptable. It also coincides with a growing authority structure.

I really don't have a problem with people exploring all kinds of ideas as long as in the end there is clear support within Scripture.

Anyway as almost always it's interesting to get a different perspective.

Then show me "Bibe only" in the scriptures. Also show me where the authors claim their hands are guided by the Holy Spirit.
