Origin


Origenism was a Christian doctrine rejected in the Second Council of Constantinople (553), which affirmed the eternity and preexistence of human souls, unlike Catholic doctrine, which says that the soul is created at the time of biological conception. One of those souls would have been that of Christ, in whom the Word of God was incarnated, in order to obtain the salvation of men.

Origenism was spread by the monk, writer and fourth-century mystic Evagrius Pontic, who unilaterally relied on passages of the text Perí Arjón, by the Christian scholar Origen, who lived a century earlier. The originists went so far as to claim that, by the immensely good nature of God, there could be no hell of fire or any other eternal punishment, so that all beings, including the Devil, had the possibility of being forgiven and salvation if it was proposed. Although it is said that the originistas supported the doctrine of reincarnation, it is known that Origen was against it and explicitly rejected it.
