I was told by many, from my childhood onwards, about heaven and hell.... But, how it will be?..
How we can reach there?... how we can be away from the Hell?....
There comes the word salvation....
In religion, salvation is the concept that, as part of divine providence, God saves people, both:
- from biological death, by providing for them an eternal life
- from spiritual death, by providing divine law, illumination, and judgment
The world's religions hold varying positions on the way to attain salvation and on what it means.
The theological study of salvation is called soteriology. It covers the means by which salvation is effected or achieved, and its results. Salvation may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects.
Some religions claim that salvation can be attained by using only inner human resources such as meditation, accumulation of wisdom, asceticism, rituals, or good deeds. Other religions teach that humans can be saved only through the grace granted by an external personal agent (God, a bodhisattva, an avatar, etc.)
The pantheistic religions (They believe Universe and God are identical - It is generally asserted that Hindu religious texts are the oldest known literature that contains Pantheistic ideas.) of the East regard salvation as an impersonal merging with the Absolute. In contrast, the three largest monotheistic religions of the world—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—associate salvation with freedom from the bondage of sin and the reestablishment of personal communication with the creator. There are some basic differences among those monotheistic religions on how sin is to be overcome by humans.
Since all the religions are talking about the same Salvation, and same Human , How come, there is different ways, and thoughts?.....
Let us go through those books, where the author is God.... and let us try to find out those alterations made by men....
