The Second Council of Constantinople (553)
Justinian’s Anathemas Against Origen
Anathema 1. Whoever says or thinks that human souls existed beforehand, that is, that they had earlier been spirits and holy powers, but that, having had their fill of the vision of God, they turned to evil, and in this way the love of God in them had died out, and that for this reason they became souls and were condemned to punishment in bodies: let him be anathema.
Anathema 2. If anyone says or thinks that the soul of the Lord existed beforehand and was united with God the Word before the incarnation and before the Virgin conceived him: let him be anathema.
Anathema 3. If anyone says or thinks that the body of our Lord Jesus Christ was first formed in the womb of the holy Virgin, and that afterward God the Word and the soul that already existed were united with it: let him be anathema.
Anathema 4. If anyone says or thinks that the Word of God became like all the heavenly orders, so that to the cherubim he was a cherub and to the seraphim a seraph; in short, that he became like all the higher powers: let him be anathema.
Anathema 5. If anyone says or thinks that at the resurrection human bodies will rise in the shape of a sphere, unlike the form we have now: let him be anathema.
Anathema 6. If anyone says that the heaven, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the waters above the heavens have souls and are rational beings: let him be anathema.
Anathema 7. If anyone says or thinks that Christ the Lord will at some future time be crucified for demons as he was for men: let him be anathema.
Anathema 8. If anyone says or thinks that the power of God is limited, and that he created only as much as he was able to grasp: let him be anathema.
Anathema 9. If anyone says or thinks that the punishment of demons and of impious men is only for a time and will one day come to an end, and that there will be a restoration of demons and of impious men: let him be anathema. Anathema to Origen, and to that Adamantius, who set out these opinions together with his abominable, accursed and wicked teaching; and to anyone at all who thinks this way, or defends these opinions, or at any time hereafter in any way presumes to protect them.
