What is Reddit's opinion of Origen: On First Principles?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I dont get too worried about the labels.

If you are interested in Origen, here is a good text to check out of his

Also Origen's student, Gregory, would write my favorite Trinitarian creed

>There is one God, the Father of the living Word, who is His subsistent Wisdom and Power and Eternal Image: perfect Begetter of the perfect Begotten, Father of the only-begotten Son.

>There is one Lord, Only of the Only, God of God, Image and Likeness of Deity, Efficient Word, Wisdom comprehensive of the constitution of all things, and Power formative of the whole creation, true Son of true Father, Invisible of Invisible, and Incorruptible of Incorruptible, and Immortal of Immortal and Eternal of Eternal.

>And there is One Holy Spirit, having His subsistence from God, and being made manifest by the Son, Image of the Son, Perfect Image of the Perfect; Life, the Cause of the living; Holy Fount; Sanctity, the Supplier, or Leader, of Sanctification; in whom is manifested God the Father, who is above all and in all, and God the Son, who is through all.

>There is a perfect Trinity, in glory and eternity and sovereignty, neither divided nor estranged. Wherefore there is nothing either created or in servitude in the Trinity; nor anything superinduced, as if at some former period it was non-existent, and at some later period it was introduced. And thus neither was the Son ever wanting to the Father, nor the Spirit to the Son; but without variation and without change, the same Trinity abides ever.

Edit: op is in this for the ego feed, so I'll stop feeding him, but if anyone is interested, this is a good book to learn what Origen really thought.

Ultimately the Orthodox view of the trinity does teach a monarchy of the father, but that is still different from Arianism. Its rather interesting if anyone wants to look into what we actually believe and teach.

You mean about universal salvation specifically?
