Catholicism And Salvation

Salvation describes the deliverance by God for those who believe in him. It is the saving of the soul from sin (and its consequences) through Gods will and grace. Though it takes different forms in every religion, the principle is still the same, often emphasising the necessity of both good works, repentance, and asceticism, as well as divine intervention (in this case the action being the grace of God). If assuming that Christ is the full truth, then the only way to gain access to God after death is through the salvation given by the Christian God. Jesus himself has indicated that a person must hear the word, believe it, repent of past sins, and be willing to confess faith before others, be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins, and then continue to live a faithful life throughout this physical life if we are to go to heaven.

The Virgin Mary also provides an allegory between her, the archetype, and the Libson girls. In the Catholic church the Virgin Mary is the mother of of God and

Religions take a hold on societies in different ways. Christianity started as a revitalization movement against the Roman hierarchy, and was comprised of mostly woman and the poor. The Roman Empire took up most of the Mediterranean and North Africa. With the death of Jesus, around 33 CE, came a new, unique, religion that was a spin off of Judaism but they believed that Jesus was the foretold Messiah. Although they were persecuted, Christianity took hold in the ancient world because it offered salvation, was fair to all, and preached love and peace.

Religion is a very intellectual topic in the world. There are so many different types of religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Jainism, and many more. So many people in this world believe in numerous different religions. Some believe in one god, and others believe in hundreds. Hinduism and Buddhism are popular religions that are practiced around the world.

Every society is based on different religion. Different people follow different types of religion according to their birth or by choice. The major religions of the world are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Each religion is similar and different from one another in terms of festivals, practices and beliefs. Apart from Christianity, Hinduism and Islam are the two most widely practiced religions in the world today. They have their own traditions, beliefs and practices. These two religions are similar to some extent and differ in terms of the God they worship, religious text and the place where they offer their prayers.

Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity are the main religions of the world. Christianity was accepted by the Roman empire, and became the main religion there. The Romans followed the beliefs of Catholicism. However, when the Germans attacked, they took over the west side of the Roman Empire. The

Across the globe, there are a wide assortment of religions used by people of varying

Mary also has the title of Mother of God, primarily to emphasize Jesus’ divinity. Her fiat—her yes—to the Archangel Gabriel’s announcement of God’s plan was crucial to our salvation. She is the ideal of Christian obedience, regardless of personal cost.

Throughout history, a multitude of religions have been created and acquired by various cultures. With every new religion comes a group of those who believe, and those who scrutinize and refute the religion. Many varying factors contribute to what makes a religion have longevity or simply fade away. All major religions of the world, however different in beliefs, share commonalities that bind them together. All religions have important events throughout history that propel them into being acknowledged religions. They all have beliefs and ideologies that are followed by believers. They all have practices that people adopt and exercise. Buddhism and Christianity are two religions that have solidified as time has passed, and have continued to grow in prominence world-wide.

There are multiple religions within the world today. All religions share different things between them, as well as many differences. Within Module 5 there were three religions that were focused on Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and Christianity. To truly understand how different these religions are as well as know their own common grounds one must first dive in to each religion individually. To start off, Zoroastrianism will be the first religion that is covered.

What is salvation? The dictionary definition of salvation is, “deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ.” A modern day example of this is a mother getting a job so she can feed her daughter. When Jesus brought salvation it was much bigger than the mom getting a job, but it is only bigger because Jesus saved humanity when he did it. The problem is that most humans today do not have the drive to go out and get a job to support their family. When Jesus saved the world he not only saved it, but also showed us how to reevaluate how we live.

Religion consists of different teachings and beliefs that have been around since the beginning of time. Polytheistic and monotheistic religions have influenced life in every civilization and culture. Religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have produced some of the most influential teachings and beliefs in human life. The people of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam celebrate their god and their religion in different ways. Through celebration and holidays the teachings of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are shared from generation to generation.

According to McGrath,” purgatory is perhaps best understood as an intermediate stage, in which those who have died in a state of grace are given an opportunity to purge themselves of the guilt of their sins before finally entering heaven.” The Roman Catholic Church believes that those who are perfect at death are admitted to heaven. Those who have sin in their lives however, do not go to heaven, but rather go to purgatory where they apparently go through a process of cleansing (or "purging"). Such souls are described as those who are oppressed with a sense of lack and suffer certain pain. According to McGrath, the Roman Catholics

The diversity of religions in the world is almost as wide-ranging as the diversity of culture itself (Macionis, 526). Christianity seems to be the largest religion, with 2 billion followers, one-third of the world’s population. In the 1st century C.E, Christianity evolved out from Judaism. It is based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and those who follow him are called “Christians.” Christianity is a monotheistic faith, which refers to only believing in one god. It is predominant in the Western World (North America, Europe and Oceania).

Religion. Religion is something that everyone knows about, most people have, but no one really knows why exactly we have it. Although there are a myriad of different religions practiced by people all over the world with varying beliefs, the grand majority of widely practiced religions such as Christianity and Judaism are premised in their interpretation of the Bible. The Bible is a collection of texts written by human beings several hundred years ago, recounting a history of events from the creation of the universe by God to the supposed second coming of Christ sometime in the future. Different religions vary based on their interpretation of the Bible and the meaning they place behind this interpretation. Catholicism is based on a specific
