Creationism (soul)

The creationism ( from Latin creatio, " the creation " ) is a Christian doctrine of the origin of the soul, which was formulated and founded by the Church Father Lactantius. It says that the soul is the man does not give his parents about procreation ( Generatianismus ) and also not before the emergence of the body there ( Präexistenzlehre ), but at the time of conception created by God and is inserted into the forming body. The creationism had from the perspective of some church fathers the disadvantage that he could not explain original sin as the Generatianismus the (then not called so ), the transfer of the sinfulness of Adam to his descendants, because a newly created soul is not affected by the original sin be appeared. Therefore, Augustine of Hippo could not decide between Generatianismus and creationism. Later, however, the creationism of the Catholic Church was declared a binding doctrine that contrary views were condemned. Based on ( Ps 2:7 NIV ) it is argued that the new personality is created in the moment of conception.
