Re: Comment on Origen response to “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” on Original Vs. Ancestral Sin

Re: Comment in “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” re: Original Sin Vs. Ancestral Sin,  response: re: Origen

It does not matter than Origen, over 100 years before Augustine of Hippo, taught a doctrine of a double procession of the Holy Spirit.  More than 100 years before Origen, the Lord Jesus Christ explicitly and clearly, unmistakably taught the single procession of the Holy Spirit in John 15:26.  And citing Origen is not very informed, as Origen has been condemned by councils of the Orthodox Church for some of his heretical teachings, and the teaching of the double procession of the Holy Spirit is just one such heretical teaching that has been condemned by the Councils of the Orthodox Church, including the Fourth Council of Constantinople in Constantinople, 879-880 AD, attended and approved by Pope John VIII, Bishop (Pope) of Rome.
