THE ORIGIN OF MAN: Ancient cultures
In ancient Greece there were different currents philosophies, scientific and religious, where the Greeks were based on superstitions, spiritualist rituals and several gods, in addition, they trusted supernatural powers. Religion was a polytheistic character very rooted in their daily lives, this thought has been manifested through times through culture, music, art, there are infinities reference of Greek culture in our society today today today. According to Greek philosophical thinking, the majority of its precursors, affirmed that the soul is pre -existing and prisoner of the body and has a fight you counted for its release, which is sometimes dominated by passions and subject to the body (myth of the winged car). That everything that always moves by itself is immortal (soul) while what is moved by another, when the movement ceases, also ceases to live (body), that the body was a set of dust that when the died theBody, this dust was in the world, generating immortality.
While the Aristotelian conception separates from the Platonic by the difference in corporeal assessment, for him the body is not only a prison from which the soul has to be released, but the original headquarters of the soul.
The soul according to Aristotle, unlike Plato, does not pre -exist the body. She is the act, the perfection of a body, therefore the soul does not separate from the body, except for activities that are not body functions, such as intellectual activity.
According to the biblical story, we know that God is the creator of all things and especially man was created to the image and likeness, establishing it in the garden of Eden enjoying a total closeness with God, being his most perfect creation. Once Adam Peco, he was taken from the garden and the communion was cut with God and decreed that every soul that sins
In Adam we all sin and that is why creation is separated from God as stated by the prophet Isaiah 59: 2. As God loved the world by sending his only begotten Son (Jn 3:16) so that anyone who believes in him does not miss eternal life, since because of the condition of the human being his soul was condemned to hell and throughThe death of Jesus there is salvation because written is in (EC 3:11) the soul is eternal thanks to his sacrifice, man can have that communion again with God and enjoy the hope of the resurrection, according to the apostle Paul in(1 ts 5:23) That man is body, soul and spirit. With the soul, emotions manifest and with the regenerated spirit we have an intimate communion with God, because no one can call Jesus their Lord but it is because of the spirit.
With this it can be said that Christianity, rootes many things of the different Greek philosophical thinking, giving relevance to man by above all and focusing on that man is a spiritual being, which needs to be guided by something that generates a belief to actin the best way.
