Red pill me on Origen of Alexandria. What was wrong with his theology that made him a heretic...

God has provided the way of salvation to all (John 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 5:14,15; 1 Timothy 2:6; 4:10; Titus 2:11; 2 Peter 3:9).
Even those who haven’t heard of Christ are accountable for God’s revelation in nature (Romans 1:20).
God will seek those who seek Him (Matthew 7:7; Luke 19:10).
Therefore God doesn’t send people to hell, they choose it (Romans 1:18,21,25).

Sin is willful opposition to God our creator (Romans 1:18-32).
Our sin does merit hell (Romans 1:32; 2:2,5,6).
What is unfair and amazing is that Christ died for our sin and freely offers salvation to all (Romans 2:4; 3:22-24; 4:7,8; 5:8,9).

As opposed to obstinacy unrepentant sinners? Yes of course that is preferable. Hands down. No if ands or buts about it.

He wants them to revel in the love he is freely offering them if it takes the fear of eternal damnation to do it then so be it. If you actually read the bible Jesus was pretty clear about all of this.

Did Origen believe in reincarnation? I sort of remember hearing that before. Maybe it wasn't Origen I'm thinking of.

I think no, but certain new agers have taken things he said, like about preexistence of souls, and twisted them to claim he taught reincarnation. I think Manly Hall might have originated the claim in his book 'Reincarnation', and it got repeated by new agers like Shirley Maclaine. Some of Origen's quotes have been compared to Eastern concepts like karma, i.e. "The cause of each one’s actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his merits, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor … it is due to previous causes."

Here is the anathemas against Origen:

I…have to agree with others on that part. People are morons and certain threat is needed to maintain order…sadly.

Thanks.
So as I said, church didn't condemn apokatastasis as in whole, but only origenism, that except for what I said about preexistence of souls, also included apparent Docetism, gnostic influences (ironically) and what seems like pantheism.

It’s too bad you don’t realize how screwed up that sounds. If someone has to be threatened to “love you,” it’s obvioualy not sincere. It shows that the intimidator has nothing in them that is appealing to someone else, so they have to resort to threats.

Literally no other loving relationship works like that. No wonder people are repulsed by Christianity nowadays.

People should obey and trust God out of love for him, not out of terror. God is not a mob boss. That’s like putting a knife to someone’s throat and telling them “love me, or I will cut your head off.”
That is NOT how you convert souls, guys.

My gut tells me that you don’t really believe that. Why? Because normal people simply don’t think in this manner. The average person is a hardcore hedonist, so you really expect me to believe that people’s choose to go to hell?

One of the biggest reasons we have technological advances is for humans mirth and ease. To say that people “choose to go to hell” contradicts everything we know about human motivation and reinforcement. Even the martyrs don’t really choose to be martyrs; they do it because denying Jesus would result in a much worse fate than being boiled or flayed, and they will receive a reward in Heaven.

look man, I agree with you that it shouldn't be like that. But considering that vast majority of people are egoistic morons, they need some threat to maintain order and stable society. You and I dont want it to be so, but thats a sad objective fact.

Orthodoxy at least mostly views hell as state of soul of active rejection and repulsion of God rather than place of punishment. So "choosing to go to hell" makes good sense here. Catholicism, I believe, says that its more about isolation from God so it also makes sense there.

It doesn't take long for hedonism to turn into a personal hell. All an addict has to do to end it is stop and we don't. Ask an alcoholic or a junky. Right under the surface of pleasure is that love of death. Normal people don't think in that manner because we deceive ourselves. We however act in that manner.

He didn't say that those in Hell will be saved.

He said that maybe, possibly everyone will repent before they die, thus avoiding going to Hell in the first place.

At what point does a Muslim suicide bomber repent? In the nanosecond between pressing the button to die for Allah and exploding?

post mortem.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the faith does not suppose that human beings deserve salvation but in fact the opposite. That God allows any means for a sinner to enter grace is an amazing demonstration of His mercy.

God is omnipotent and nothing is stopping Him from revealing Himself to such bomber at whatever time He wants, even in his last seconds. And if that bomber then, even when he is a fraction of second from death, responds with a desire to repent - then we know that God is both omnipotent and faithful to His promises of answering every trustful and confident prayer.

This is unlikely and it seems that most probably such bomber would receive no such special grace and so die in sin, but God's mercy is infinite and if He wanted, He could give a sinner such grace.
