Eight Charges Against Origen in Jerome’s “Against John of Jerusalem”

• The Son cannot see the Father nor the Holy Spirit the Son.
• Souls had their origin as rational creatures that fell into bodies, construed as prisons; as in Epiphanius's letter to John, the Origenists are said on this point to appeal to Psalms 119:67, 116:7, and 142:7.372.
• The devil and demons will repent and come to reign with the saints.
• The "tunics of skins" of Genesis 3:21 are to be interpreted as bodies.
• The resurrection of the flesh is denied in Origen's explication of Psalm 1.
• Origen allegorised the geographical and physical reality of Paradise.
• Origen allegorised the interpretation of the waters above the heavens and below the earth in his exegesis of Genesis.
• Humans have lost "the image and likeness of God" through sin.
