Salvation
the act of saving or protecting
from harm, risk, loss,
destruction, etcetera
the
state of being saved or protected from harm, risk, loss …
a source or means of being
saved or protected from harm, risk, loss …
In Christian
theology deliverance from the penalty of
sin.
Salvation can be seen
metaphorically as
redemption.
Humans,
unable to care for themselves
at birth, require "saviors" to care until they can
care for themselves.
When salvation is taken literally the
object of salvation takes
on human parent characteristics thus
removing the object of
salvation from the plane of perfection and placing it on
an earthly plane with
faulty
parents.
salvationism
a 'literal' reading of
Hebrews 5:7-9
a member of the Salvation Army (an oxymoron)
neoevangelist 'Call' to make open public
conversions
a member of
a cult emphasizing the doctrine of salvation
A religious doctrine claiming
the salvation of the soul.
A belief system that places personal
responsibility outside itself, usually in the hands of a superntural
daemon.
Well known salvationists include
Irenaeus,
John Calvin and the
Trinity
television network neoevangelists.
Salvation Army founder
William Booth characterised the revolutionary Christianity of the Diggers and
Levellers as "utopian."
Booth suggested Salvation Army members could
earn a large profit from business and still keep a good
conscience.
Booth stated what was important was not "whether a man died
in the poorhouse but if his soul was saved".
With a military structure
complete with uniforms the only permissible pleasure was praying and playing in
the Army band.
As social problems increased the indigent poor are sent
off to colonies.
Rather than find
a solution to poverty
colonization built a
bigger Empire.
Aboriginals are confined to
missions and their children forced to follow a strict pattern of work and
'Christian' education.
The
Army actively participated in
removing children from their families.
Rabbit Proof
Fence - Stolen Generations
Cecil Rhodes and
Theodore Roosevelt lent
their support.
It has had no greater success than in
Australia where it has
become the biggest
charity, with the most-read Christian newspaper, the War
Cry.
Record
burning, belief in the coming end
of the world, fear of
demons, and other 'unusual' ideas, aren't
widely known.
Young people are expected to marry only within the
Army.
Officers are only allowed to marry other officers.
Disabled
people and those forced to do community service are exploited.
To avoid oversupplying the
market and cutting down business profit margins, the Army even goes so far
as dumping tons of clothing in
Africa.
The
Salvation Army is a cult centered around William Booth.
Redemption
involves the surrender of
the need for the cognitive
dominance of agency defined as the need to cause
submission and
control the action of
others.
Redemption
allows direct experience
in the joy of
living.
This freeing
of the Eternal Soul from social
conditioning and social strictures
renews and revives the
human spirit stripping away
spiritual corruption
in blazing light.
Cognitive Blindness
no longer obscures consciousness and the
mirage of
hyperreality dissolves into the
Real.
True repentance
requires tears and
fire in the heart!
Lightning and clouds are its
indispensable condition.
You need fire and water for the
fruit to ripen:
How can that occur without
lightning and clouds?
Before
the heart has been shattered by
lightning
And before rains of tears have
fallen from your eyes."
Rumi
soteriology is the study of
salvation
In
Christianity the
different soteriologies can be grouped into distinct schools: the
Catholics and
Orthodox on
Justification, the
Church, the
Sacraments, and
free will;
Arminianism's synergism;
Calvinism's
predestination; and a large
range of Lutheran doctrine, including
conversion,
justification by grace alone through
faith alone, the
means of grace, and the
Church.
In
Islam soteriology
focuses on how humans can repent of
and atone for their failures and
trespasses so as not to
occupy a state of loss.
Salvation in
the afterlife comes from the recognition and acceptance of the individual
by Allah, with regards to their
virtue,
obedience and/or
good deeds performed in
their earthly life.
The Qur'an states, and the Sunnah confirms,
that good deeds redeem wrong deeds and
charity removes
wrong deeds just as
water quenches
fire.
Judaism emphasizes
morality in this life
over concern with the
afterlife.
The concern comes with
the intent that ultimately
all humanity can better its lot as everyone practices more virtuous and
ethical
behavior.
In
Hellenistic soteriology salvation comes in this life
brought by Alexander.
Stoicism is concerned with
the cultivation of
virtues such as fortitude and detachment to
improve spiritual well-being.
Buddhist soteriology focuses
on attaining liberation from suffering by
earning through proper thought patterns
the eternal salvation of Nirvana.
Hinduism has one unifying
factor: to free oneself from
the cycle of rebirth Hindus embark on
a quest for
enlightenment through concept
of Ahimsa, which means "non-violence."
Jainism emphasizes
penance and
asceticism, which lead to
liberation and ascendance
of the Eternal
Soul.
Sikhism advocates the
pursuit of salvation
through disciplined,
personal
meditation on the Message of God.
This meditation brings a
person into union with the Æon.
According to
Confucianist teachings,
people cannot save themselves.
While their
good deeds create good
karma and merit
(called boon), people cannot
use it for themselves.
This merit can be used to
help their ancestors, though,
who are waiting in the
spirit world and need
help from the younger generation.
In this way the children
assist in the salvation of the parents.
Shinto and Tenrikyo similarly emphasize
working for a good life by cultivating
virtue or virtuous
behavior.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us
int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us
ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on
reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon
through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The
tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out
in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
"hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that
is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and
the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have
been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior
c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns.
The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of
s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal
elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and
¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the
p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
