{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c006\">4. With respect to the thoughts which proceed from our\r\nheart, or the recollection of things which we have done, or\r\nthe contemplation of any things or causes whatever, we find\r\nthat they sometimes proceed from ourselves, and sometimes\r\nare originated by the opposing powers; not seldom also are\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_230\">230</span>they suggested by God, or by the holy angels. Now such a\r\nstatement will perhaps appear incredible,<a id=\"r634\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f634\"><sup>[634]</sup></a> unless it be confirmed\r\nby the testimony of holy Scripture. That, then,\r\nthoughts arise within ourselves, David testifies in the Psalms,\r\nsaying, “The thought of a man will make confession to Thee,\r\nand the rest of the thought shall observe to Thee a festival\r\nday.”<a id=\"r635\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f635\"><sup>[635]</sup></a> That this, however, is also brought about by the\r\nopposing powers, is shown by Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes\r\nin the following manner: “If the spirit of the ruler\r\nrise up against thee, leave not thy place; for soundness\r\nrestrains great offences.”<a id=\"r636\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f636\"><sup>[636]</sup></a> The Apostle Paul also will bear\r\ntestimony to the same point in the words: “Casting down\r\nimaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against\r\nthe knowledge of Christ.”<a id=\"r637\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f637\"><sup>[637]</sup></a> That it is an effect due to God,\r\nnevertheless, is declared by David, when he says in the\r\nPsalms, “Blessed is the man whose help is in Thee, O Lord,\r\nThy ascents (are) in his heart.”<a id=\"r638\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f638\"><sup>[638]</sup></a> And the apostle says that\r\n“God put it into the heart of Titus.”<a id=\"r639\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f639\"><sup>[639]</sup></a> That certain thoughts\r\nare suggested to men’s hearts either by good or evil angels,\r\nis shown both by the angel that accompanied Tobias, and by\r\nthe language of the prophet, where he says, “And the angel\r\nwho spoke in me answered.”<a id=\"r640\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f640\"><sup>[640]</sup></a> The book of the Shepherd<a id=\"r641\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f641\"><sup>[641]</sup></a>\r\ndeclares the same, saying that each individual is attended by\r\ntwo angels; that whenever good thoughts arise in our hearts,\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_231\">231</span>they are suggested by the good angel; but when of a contrary\r\nkind, they are the instigation of the evil angel. The same\r\nis declared by Barnabas in his epistle,<a id=\"r642\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f642\"><sup>[642]</sup></a> where he says there\r\nare two ways, one of light and one of darkness, over which\r\nhe asserts that certain angels are placed,—the angels of God\r\nover the way of light, the angels of Satan over the way of\r\ndarkness. We are not, however, to imagine that any other\r\nresult follows from what is suggested to our heart, whether\r\ngood or bad, save a [mental] commotion only, and an incitement\r\ninstigating us either to good or evil. For it is quite\r\nwithin our reach, when a malignant power has begun to\r\nincite us to evil, to cast away from us the wicked suggestions,\r\nand to resist the vile inducements, and to do nothing that\r\nis at all deserving of blame. And, on the other hand, it is\r\npossible, when a divine power calls us to better things, not to\r\nobey the call; our freedom of will being preserved to us in\r\neither case. We said, indeed, in the foregoing pages, that\r\ncertain recollections of good or evil actions were suggested\r\nto us either by the act of divine providence or by the opposing\r\npowers, as is shown in the book of Esther, when Artaxerxes\r\nhad not remembered the services of that just man Mordecai,\r\nbut, when wearied out with his nightly vigils, had it put into\r\nhis mind by God to require that the annals of his great deeds\r\nshould be read to him; whereon, being reminded of the\r\nbenefits received from Mordecai, he ordered his enemy Haman\r\nto be hanged, but splendid honours to be conferred on him,\r\nand impunity from the threatened danger to be granted to\r\nthe whole of the holy nation. On the other hand, however,\r\nwe must suppose that it was through the hostile influence\r\nof the devil that the suggestion was introduced into the\r\nminds of the high priests and the scribes which they made to\r\nPilate, when they came and said, “Sir, we remember that\r\nthat deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I\r\nwill rise again.”<a id=\"r643\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f643\"><sup>[643]</sup></a> The design of Judas, also, respecting the\r\nbetrayal of our Lord and Saviour, did not originate in the\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_232\">232</span>wickedness of his mind alone. For Scripture testifies that\r\nthe “devil had already put it into his heart to betray Him.”<a id=\"r644\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f644\"><sup>[644]</sup></a>\r\nAnd therefore Solomon rightly commanded, saying, “Keep\r\nthy heart with all diligence.”<a id=\"r645\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f645\"><sup>[645]</sup></a> And the Apostle Paul warns\r\nus: “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the\r\nthings which we have heard, lest perhaps we should let them\r\nslip.”<a id=\"r646\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f646\"><sup>[646]</sup></a> And when he says, “Neither give place to the devil,”<a id=\"r647\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f647\"><sup>[647]</sup></a>\r\nhe shows by that injunction that it is through certain acts, or\r\na kind of mental slothfulness, that room is made for the devil,\r\nso that, if he once enter our heart, he will either gain possession\r\nof us, or at least will pollute the soul, if he has not\r\nobtained the entire mastery over it, by casting on us his fiery\r\ndarts; and by these we are sometimes deeply wounded, and\r\nsometimes only set on fire. Seldom indeed, and only in a few\r\ninstances, are these fiery darts quenched, so as not to find a\r\nplace where they may wound, <i>i.e.</i> when one is covered by the\r\nstrong and mighty shield of faith. The declaration, indeed,\r\nin the Epistle to the Ephesians, “We wrestle not against\r\nflesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,\r\nagainst the rulers of the darkness of this world, against\r\nspiritual wickedness in high places,”<a id=\"r648\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f648\"><sup>[648]</sup></a> must be so understood\r\nas if “we” meant, “I Paul, and you Ephesians, and all who\r\nhave not to wrestle against flesh and blood:” for such have\r\nto struggle against principalities and powers, against the\r\nrulers of the darkness of this world, not like the Corinthians,\r\nwhose struggle was as yet against flesh and blood, and who\r\nhad been overtaken by no temptation but such as is common\r\nto man.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER II.
