Therefore, O faithful Christian, search for truth, hear truth,
learn truth, love truth, speak the truth, hold the truth,
defend the truth till death.

Subject: [B-Greek] QEOS in Dialogue with Heraclides
In his Dialogue with Heraclides Origen said:
"For when human beings are joined to each other, the appropiate word is
"flesh", and when the just person is united to Christ, the word is "spirit";
and when Christ is united to the Father OU SARX, OU TO PNEUMA ONOMA, ALLA
TOUTWN TIMIWTERON TO QEOS. "
The first question is about the neuter article TO. It seems that it is
related to QEOS which is however male in gender. If i am right, the
translation could be:
"Not flesh and spirit, but which is much more precious, the god nature".
I think that QEOS here seems to be a mass noun rather than a definite noun,
due to the neuter article, and what "flesh" and "spirit" are grammaticaly.
I would appreciate other translation.
