//Gold Stream// __//Salvation//__  //|sal// //ˈ// //vā sh// //ə// //n|//

//noun Theology// //deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ.// //• preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss : they try to sell it to us as economic salvation.// //• ( one's salvation) a source or means of being saved in this way : his only salvation was to outfly the enemy.//

//Basically this is the thing that people of many religions look forward to after death. All religion’s have different views on this. For example Christianity, there salvation would be going to heaven once they die. It takes them away or delivers them and keeps them in a place of peace and harmony, and to live on with out fear. The Buddhist they become a god or in there religion a Buddha once they pass on. Each religion has different perspectives on what happens to you in the afterlife. In my opinion I think there all the very similar maybe even the same they are so close and common to each other that its ridicules. Sometimes these similarities make me think that all religions are the same just with different names. Through out history each religion tells people and uses there salvation more or less as a promotion of it, because really many people fear death and what happens after they die so certain religions say that there religion will give them the best after life. Those reasons are why some people choose to follow certain religions because they believe that a certain religion will do them better then another.// __//Christianity//__ //In this religion people finding salvation, Go to a place called heaven. In heaven it is almost a perfect world with no fighting no pain no fear and you can live in a so called “Perfect World” the god you have been worshiping. The way in the bible it is described is// //then, salvation is from the ultimate calamity of the judgment of God. It is Jesus Christ, the Savior, who "delivers us from the wrath to come" (1 Thessalonians 1:10). That is// //said that the son of god will be the one to take us away from earth and deliver us to heaven or a better place. “Delivers us from the wrath to come.” That foreshadows, that something bad will happen, and we will need to go to a better place. “// //Salvation proceeds from the love of God, is based upon the atonement wrought by His Son Jesus Christ, is realized in forgiveness, regeneration, and sanctification, and culminates in the resurrection and glorification of all those who accept Jesus Christ as Savior.” This quote shows and gives proof that god cares for us or the people of this religion. For someone to give there only son for the people of the world is a great burden but it will pure of us of our sins and allow us to live “A better Life” Once we pass on.// __//Judaism//__  //In Judaism you see / put a different scope on Christianity they follow the same holy book almost just in Judaism they don’t show as much or it doesn’t have as much as the bible covered by Christianity. But there after life is very similar or almost the same. They just don't believe in hell and the newer testament of the bible.// __//Hinduism//__ //In the religion of Hinduism they call their salvation Moksha, and there are four ways to it. Basically they have to devote them selves to there god in every way. Mentally and physically in four processes.// //1. The Way of Action: This involves carrying out certain religious ceremonies, duties and rites. The objective is to perform works without regard for personal gain.// //2. The Way of Knowledge: This requires using your mind and philosophy to come to a complete comprehension of the universe.// //3. The Way of Devotion: Salvation is reached through acts of worship, based upon the love for a God (there are thousands of gods in Hinduism).// //4.The Royal Road: The use of meditation and yoga techniques. This method of reaching salvation is typically only used by wandering monks.// //Each of these ways to salvation in Hinduism requires that a person do certain things. Salvation is through what a Hindu does. Not// //to gain physically / to try and receive salvation only it is meant for someone to do because they truly believe in there god. To achieve moksha. And they have to devote almost there whole being to it.// __//Buddhism//__ //The salvation// //in Buddhism has a different name it is called Nirvana is because you go to a godly state. You reach your inner peace and intern become your own buddah. The eight paths you must follow in Buddhism have there own rules. And are all different.//

//To reach Nirvana you must follow the Noble Eightfold Path. The Noble Eightfold Path is:// //1. Right Understanding: accepting the Four Noble Truths. (The existence of suffering; the cause of suffering; the end of suffering; and the end of pain.)// //2. Right Resolve: renounce the pleasures of the body. Change your lifestyle so that you harm no living creatures and have kind thoughts for everyone.// //3. Right Speech: do not gossip, lie or slander anyone.// //4. Right Action: do not kill, steal or engage in an unlawful sexual act.// //5. Right Occupation: avoid working at any job that could harm someone.// //6. Right Effort: heroically work to eliminate evil from your life. Through your own effort develop good conduct and a clean mind.// //7. Right Contemplation: make your self aware of your deeds, words and thoughts so that you can be free of desire and sorrow.// //8. Right Meditation: train your mind to focus on a single object without wavering so as to develop a calm mind capable of concentration.// //Following the Noble Eightfold Path requires that a person do the above eight things. Salvation is through what a Buddhist does. It is through human work.// //Through this you must train your body and get rid of all of that the “Christians” call all the humanly pleasures or seven deadly sins.// //Basically through out, all the religions finding there after life most of them speak of finding a different inner peace. Thorugh out this inner peace. They can live peacefully with out the worrys of being in a humanly state. Not having to deal with the phsyciall or mental pain you go to your perfect world. There are many more religions. That all have basically a similar basis to what they mean and how the teach to go to your after life / salvation you must be what they want and live a good life.//
