Cursed Teachers

Ἐπικατάρατος ὁ πλανῶν τυφλὸν ἐν ὁδῷ Τοιοῦτοι εἰσι καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ εἰδωλολατρείας καὶ τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς ἐπὶ μυσαρὰς αἱρέσεις ἐφελκόμενοι. Τυφλοὺς γὰρ ὄντας αὐτοὺς καὶ μήπω τὸ φῶς τῆς ἀληθείας ἐσχηκότας καὶ θεογνωσίας, ἀπατῶσι δὲ καὶ πλανῶσιν, ἑτέραν ἀντὶ τῆς ἀποστολικῆς παραδεικνύντες ὁδόν. Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Δευτερονόμιον Ἐκλογή Source: Migne PG 17.33c

Cursed is he who deceives a blind man on the way. 1 Such are those who lead men from idolatry and the circumcision to abominable heresies. For when they are blind and do not yet have the light of truth and the knowledge of God, they deceive them and make them wander, teaching them another way apart from the Apostolic. Origen, On Deuteronomy, Fragment 1 Deut 27.18
