Origene said that he saw two extreme errors. One was of them which said there is no resurrection, such as were the Valentinians and Marcionites, such also was Alexander, who as Paul testifieth, taught that the resurrection was already done: and such also as at this day the Libertines are said to be, who babble I cannot tell what of that matter, both ungodly and unlearnedly. An other error is of those which think that the perfect and true bodies shall rise again with flesh, sinews, and bones, which thing (as he saith) is not possible: because flesh and blood shall not possess the kingdom of heaven. But Origene ought to have considered what followeth afterward in Paul. For he addeth: Neither shall corruption possess incorruption. Wherefore his sentence is, that the corruptible body cannot possess the kingdom of God. But Origene to retain that his meaning, confessed that the bodies should rise in deed, but not thick and with bones, but spiritual, as Paul hath said: The body shall rise spiritual.
Origene sayde that he sawe twoo extreme errours. One was of them which sayde there is no resurrection, suche as were the Valentinians and Marcionites, suche also was Alexander, who as Paule testifieth, taught that the resurrection was already done: and suche also as at this day the Libertines are sayde to be, who babble I cannot tell what of that matter, both vngodl•ly and vnlearnedly. An other errour is of those which thinke that the perfecte and true bodyes shall ryse agayne with fleshe, synewes, and bones, whych thing (as hee saythe) is not possible: bycause fleshe and bloode shall not possesse the kyngdome of heauen. But Origene ought to haue considered what followeth afterward in Paul. For he addeth: Neyther shall corruption possesse incorruption. Wherefore hys sentence is, that the corruptible body cannot possesse the kingdome of God. But Origene to retayne that hys meaning, confessed that the bodyes shoulde ryse in deede, but not thycke and with bones, but spirituall, as Paule hath sayde: The body shall ryse spirituall.
But Origene in those words marketh not that Paul calleth it a spiritual body, not because it should utterly be changed into a spirit, but because it should have spiritual conditions, namely incorruption, and most clear brightness. But because he perceived that the body of Christ, which after his resurrection he offered unto his Disciples to be touched and to be felt, was against his doctrine, therefore he saith: Let not the body of Christ deceive you, because it had many singular privileges, which are not granted unto other bodies. Farther, that by this dispensation he might prove that he verily was risen, he would after his resurrection have a true body, not that other bodies in the resurrection should be like. But he showed the nature of his spiritual body in Emmaus, when he vanished away from the sight of his Disciples. And an other time when he entered to his Disciples, the doors being shut.
