THE IDEA OF HUMAN in Judaism

ORIGIN OF HUMANITY

I.

The original unit from the Bible and the Rabbis.

We must look now if the idea that Judaism has made the human nature of this universality that we just find the idea of God.

The first thought that comes to mind is that only one in the ancient Israelite religion has occupied the origins of humanity. Regardless of how as little as possible with its particularist traditions tell, this fact alone is already evidence for its universal aspirations, as recognized by the most impartial writers. All races, driven by ignorance as well as pride, sought to trace their genealogy to our first parents by excluding other people of this lien. At the most if the history of these races is sometimes mentioned as an appendix to the main story of the race. The stranger, the barbarian appears as an inferior being whose nature remains rough and incomplete development, by denying him the honor of the original community is allows himself to fight, rob, to kill even The day interest so requires. It was so in ancient times, it is still even today among people who inject yet civilization. [2] The ethnology of the Jews, as has been rightly noticed, based on wider concepts, and their sacred books in their stories about the origins, are interested in other races as well as ancestors of Israel. Certainly, from a certain period in the history of mankind, the Bible, specially for Jews, fails to deal with other peoples of Israel specifically, but it is nonetheless true that in his early chapters she traces, either before or even after the flood, a general framework if it embraces a perfect playing field for all peoples of the earth. In its various sections on Jewish history, it is not even unusual to find small digressions in which he is not Hebrew, but from some heathen nation, which clearly proves that in the eyes of the Biblical writers foreigners were not original despicable beings. We make no difficulty in recognizing that national pride has always led people to believe that each superior to all others, He certainly was formerly in Jerusalem as in Athens, he is still the case today in Rome, Berlin and Paris. But history will tell if the race had consistently and distinctly that no other idea of the essential equality and fundamental of all human beings, which implies the absence of any claim to privilege any innate, is not that which is more reason for aspiring to the religious leadership of mankind. This is also the only area in which Judaism claims a special place and Israel is so far from neglecting the origin of the Gentiles and their historical development, one can say about him, much more Because although Florus did not say the Romans, by reading its history is not the story of one people that we learn, but of the entire human race.

It is much doubt that Judaism was the only religion of antiquity which is occupied of the origins of humanity, but how he solved the problem by proclaiming the oneness of mankind is the one of his best claims to fame. Hebraism stood in his conception of man, to an incomparable height. He put on the throne of God and this is one day Christianity was picked up all the way down and reign on earth, turning it into a true avatar apotheosis Jewish. It was placed at the dawn of creation on the still unformed chaos as a fertilising power [3]
