The key to unraveling this mess goes all the way back to Jesus. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, not John the Baptizer, not John the Catholic. Origen, was a Catholic. See the following links which verify my statement: http://shell5.ba.best.com/~gdavis/ntcanon/origen.htm http://www.island-of-freedom.com/ORIGEN.HTM
These are only a couple of, no doubt, hundreds or thousands of links relating to Origen. Baptists believe Origen not only was not a Baptist, but that he was not a true Christian, contrary to what Catholics believe (that's another discussion).
Jesus said that there would be tares AMONG the wheat. That means that at First Baptist Church of Hammond, there are unbelievers, conforming to, looking like, talking like, and living like "born-again" Baptists, but they have never had a born-again experience demanded by Jesus in John Chapter 3. We are not born again by baptism, as Catholics believe, we are "...born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, BY THE WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever." I Peter 1:23. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17 That's how Catholic monk Martin Luther got "saved." His faith in Christ came by reading the Word of God in Romans 1:17: "The just shall live by faith." That's why the Devil is attacking the Word of God with all these new "versions." And that's why we fundamentalists are so fanatical about the old King James Bible. That's why fundamentalists reject Origen's "scriptures."
Jesus had His Judas. Origen's writings reflect his Catholic personality. It is also important to recognize those with whom he associated. Origen was a protege' of Clement of Alexandria, Egypt.
