Traducianism

The Generatianismus ( generatio from the Latin, " procreation ") is a Christian doctrine that was already represented in the Era of the Church Fathers. It was first presented by Tertullian in a formulation which is referred to as traducianism. Based on an image from the plant world, the offspring or seedling (Latin tradux ), claimed Tertullian, that not only the body but also the soul, which he took as physically, is mediated in the generative process of the Father over the seed to the child. Thus, the inheritance of mental characteristics could be explained. Even more important than this aspect was from the perspective of the Church Fathers, who held this doctrine, so that all humanity descended into mental respects from Adam. So let the (then not so designated ) explain original sin, the inheritance of sin from Adam to his descendants.

Counter positions were of creationism, which was represented by Lactantius, and the Präexistenzlehre of Origen. The creationism teaches that the soul is not passed on through reproduction, but were created at the time of conception of God, and is inserted into the forming body. Origen said that the souls were created long before the bodies.

The Church Father Jerome was Kreatianist. Augustine, however, could not decide between Generatianismus and creationism, as he indeed had understanding of the Kreatianisten, but saw no way to reconcile the doctrine of original sin with the creationism.

The Generatianismus has been repeatedly condemned by the Catholic Church. Your binding doctrine is of creationism.
