Origen,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IV, Origen…
(1885)
“ Nor have we ever heard that the great God, after giving his spirit to the creator, demands it back again. Proceeding next foolishly to assail these impious assertions, he asks: “What god gives anything with the intention of demanding it back? For it is the mark of a needy person to demand back (what he has given) , whereas God stands in need of nothing.” ”
