Testimonia

{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c006\">But since he has charged us, I know not how often already,\r\n“with regarding this Jesus, who was but a mortal body, as a\r\nGod, and with supposing that we act piously in so doing,” it is\r\nsuperfluous to say any more in answer to this, as a great deal\r\nhas been said in the preceding pages. And yet let those who\r\nmake this charge understand that He whom we regard and\r\nbelieve to have been from the beginning God, and the Son of\r\nGod, is the very Logos, and the very Wisdom, and the very\r\nTruth; and with respect to His mortal body, and the human\r\nsoul which it contained, we assert that not by their communion\r\nmerely with Him, but by their unity and intermixture,<a id=\"r371\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f371\"><sup>[371]</sup></a> they\r\nreceived the highest powers, and after participating in His\r\ndivinity, were changed into God. And if any one should feel\r\na difficulty at our saying this regarding His body, let him\r\nattend to what is said by the Greeks regarding matter, which,\r\nproperly speaking, being without qualities, receives such as the\r\nCreator desires to invest it with, and which frequently divests\r\nitself of those which it formerly possessed, and assumes others\r\nof a different and higher kind. And if these opinions be correct,\r\nwhat is there wonderful in this, that the mortal quality of\r\nthe body of Jesus, if the providence of God has so willed it,\r\nshould have been changed into one that was ethereal and divine?</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK III.","Chapter XLI."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-174"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"28fd91a97c2fb41eb60e56f6038f3dd42e84cb973c55f5e49c8900a2b09c50af","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
