The writings of the saints
Holy Apostle Paulos
Letter to the Abderites (against materialism)
Dear Friends,
one told me about your difficulties with certain sophists who teach monism. That is why I want to help you with your quest.
The body derives from the creation of the world by the Almighty. All living creatures have a body, and it is of the same nature as the rest of the universe. It is material, restricted, heavy. It has all the features that were revealed already n his writings of the great Aristotle . By the way, you must fight under all circumstances the theories of Democritus who requires that all matter is composed of indivisible particles, which they called "atoms"! How can they imagine that all material is composed of these particles? If these particles exist and have a size, it possesses sides and weight, it can therefore by necessity be possible to separate these sides by cutting through the middle. If their indivisibility is their lack of dimension, then they can not be the source of the material as the scope is just the first characteristic of the latter.
As for what concerns the soul, the mind it is an attribute distinctly human. We find this both in the Creation Chapter VIII Decision and in the third chapter of the Vita Aristotle. Only human beings have the power to decide on their behavior, to rethink and to change its behavior. And this comes from the divine favor. The Monism confounds the fleshy and the spiritual by identifying the soul within the material. The soul is immaterial, spiritual and eternal. A material soul would be heavy, breakable, subject to the laws of motion. Can you imagine a heavy soul? Can one imagine a soul split into two parts? A soul that bounces off a wall? But perhaps the one of the monistic got hit so hard, that it has been disrupted and lays in pieces.
My friends, do not turn away from the path traced by the two prophets and always keep hope because the big change will come.
Paulos of Caesarea
