In religion, salvation is the concept that God or other Higher Power, as part of Divine Providence, saves humanity from spiritual death or Eternal Damnation by providing for them an eternal life (cf. afterlife). The world's religions agree that humanity needs salvation from its present condition. However, they hold irreconcilable positions on what it means from an eternal perspective to become saved, the actual way to get saved, and the resources needed to attain salvation.

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.) One’s duty is to recognize the impossibility of being saved by one's own efforts, and therefore accept grace unconditionally.

The pantheistic religions 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, on the identity of Jesus Christ and the role he plays in salvation, and what one's attitude toward him should be.

Why do items have high prices in the Salvation Army when it is supposed to help the needy?
Q. I have several bags to donate but not sure if I should just put them on the freecycle site instead of taking them to the Salvation Army. The last time I went to donate things at the store, I seen the price on some of the stuff and I thought it was high for used stuff. I thought they were supposed to help the needy. Now I'm debating if I should just put my stuff on the freecycle site versus taking it to the Salvation Army.

A. Hi MsLady, Sorry to tell you, but Salvation Army is not an organization that helps the needy. They are an organization that helps men who are down on their luck... drug abusers and alcoholics as well as ex-cons and men who are on parole. They have a 12 step program to help these guys get back on their feet. It is suppose to be a christian organization and even have Salvation Army churches. The guys live in the SA facilities for free while going through the program... they are also required to work in the SA stores for no pay. They get their food and clothing supplied to them as well as professional counseling and medical treatment if it is needed. The prices on the donated items are controlled by the General or whatever they… [cont.]

A. Honor your parents, bring good name to your family, do your job in society and when you die all that's left behind is your name and memory. Death is definitive, there's nothing after it.

A. Julius Caesar came to power through the use of his image as a populares or popular politician representing the masses and through his military victories over the Germanic tribes in Gaul and his victories in Egypt. Like his uncle Marius, Caesar championed the popular causes of the plebian classes of Rome and championed the settlement of Rome's troops to give them land to settle. This put him at odds with the senatorial patrician classes, who controlled Roman politics. Caesar was an outsider in Roman Politics. While he did have patrician blood, Caesar's familiy were never senators But had to attain political power and prestige by other means. For example, Caesar's family consisted of Marius, who held the position of consul 7 times and… [cont.]
