On page 130, Origen talks about God being a just God of the Law. He says that God punishes sin. I wonder how he can believe that God punishes sin and not believe in hell if he believes the Bible. This is where we see that he believes in temporary punishment and not eternal punishment. This goes against God's character as described in scripture. This is why I believe that Origen was a heretic. He believes parts of the Bible, but not others. It seems that he fashioned his own image of God in his mind. He fashioned a God who is not perfectly just. If the Lord is perfectly just, then he must send us to hell to receive eternal punishment. That is what we deserve according to Revelation 21:8. If Origen believed in a God that does not send people to eternal hell, then he did not believe in the One, True God.
