Reminds me of your Origen, one of your great church fathers...He is pretty much responsible for the false notion that most scripture was to be taken as allegory...In other words, scripture is not literal, it means something other than what it says...But unfortunately, no Catholic ever figured out what the allegories alluded to, but yet your church still follows this private min-interpretation of the scripturs...
And so then, it is the Catholic historical position that most scripture is allegorical...
So does that make Origen's premise true??? Of course not...All that shows is that Origen looked at scripture thru the eyes of the 'natural' man...The scripture that Origen and his followers couldn't/can't figure out tells us that...
Origen’s writings are sometimes used, but some of them are heretical and not used by the church...
have to separate the writings from what he later did.
