Origen

 * ... that the church father Origen wrote that some passages in the Bible were intended as purely allegorical and not literal? Source: "Origen saw the "spiritual" interpretation as the deepest and most important meaning of the text[140] and taught that some passages held no literal meaning at all and that their meanings were purely allegorical.[124][136][140] Nonetheless, he stressed that "the passages which are historically true are far more numerous than those which are composed with purely spiritual meanings."[140]"
 * ALT1:... that the church father Origen drew heavily on the teachings of Plato and tried to harmonize Greek philosophy with Christian teachings? Source: "Origen draws heavily on the teachings of Plato[112] and argues that Christianity and Greek philosophy are not incompatible,[112] and that philosophy contains much that is true and admirable,[112] but that the Bible contains far greater wisdom than anything Greek philosophers could ever grasp.[112]"

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Passing the main hook. However, if the main hook contains a quote from the source used, I think the admins will allow the hook to pass much quicker.
 * Symbol voting keep.svg ALT 1 is accepted on good faith, since I cannot access the source. Would have appreciated a quote, though.-- Farang Rak Tham   (Talk) 22:48, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
