Salvation can be defined as freedom from sin and punishment of such sins, but the path to salvation, however, changes with the religion that was chosen or known by tradition. In Christianity, salvation and deliverance from sin is found in the church and its doctrine. Christianity believes that man’s nature is to be Udder and sinful, then as Christian doctrine says that man is almost hopeless, and that therefore Jesus took the sins of man “gave full satisfaction” to God for these sins, Through His death and resurrection. To summarize Jesus took our place, and his death our sins absolved us.
This is contrary to what is found in the Torah where God says: “… every man shall be killed by his own sin” (Deut. 24:16)
The issue of Jesus as savior of mankind, is refuted in the Qur’an, where God says that He “… has given the label of disbelief .. For their say ‘kill the Messenger of God, Jesus Christ , son of Mary! ” Neither killed nor crucified him, even if they thought … “(4:15 5, July 15)
Salvation According to Jesus: Nowhere in the four Gospels, Jesus explicitly said that were he to die for the sins of mankind and thereby save us from eternal damnation. When approached by a man who asked him what he could do to gain eternal life, Jesus asked to keep and practice God’s commandments (Matthew 19: 16,17), bone in other words, to obey God’s law. A similar question made by a lawyer, and was kept in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus said to love God and neighbor (Luke 10: 25-28).
Jesus took the role is most clear in the Quran where God says: “Christ the son of Mary, was nothing more than a Messenger: many were the Messengers that passed to the afterlife before him … Notice how God makes His signals to him, but still they are deceived Note how far from the truth “(5:75)
The mission of Jesus was not then assemble a new method of achieving salvation, much less found a new system of belief as stated in the Bible, Jesus look solely to remove Jews from their emphasis on the ritual to the righteousness. (Matthew 6:1-8).
Paul of Tarsus: For the origin of the doctrine of liberation from sin, one need not look for it in the words of Jesus because it is not in their words, but you have to read what Paul wrote, the real founder of Christianity; founder, because the words of Paul and his teachings are found in the practices and terms of modern Christianity.
Like many Jews, Paul could not find anything practical in the teachings of Jesus, and the same persecuted the followers of Jesus for his beliefs were not in the Orthodox faith. This zealous persecutor became a fiery preacher, that a respectful and spontaneous conversion circa 35 AD that led him to plant the acclaim that Jesus had risen appeared in a vision, in which Paul chooses to bring his teachings to the Gentiles (Gal. 1: 11; 12:15,16)
The authenticity of Paul in any capacity is questionable considering that (1) there are four different and contradictory versions of such “conversion” (Acts 9: 3-8; 22:6 – 10, 26:13-18, Gal. 1: 15 : 17), (2) God says in such passages as Num 12:6, Deut. 18:20 and Ez. 13: 8.9 that the revelations come only from Him, and (3) stories of many disagreements between the other disciples and Paul criticized the teachings of this is written in Acts.
His experience and observation had taught Paul that preaching to the Jews did not work, why he then chose those who were not of the Jewish faith. Doing this, however, Paul broke with a strong command of Jesus which prohibited the preaching to a person who was not Jewish Mat. 10:5,6). In short, Paul stepped aside and present the true teachings of Jesus by his ambition of its own success.
Influence Pagan: Among the pagans of Paul’s time, there are many gods of different varieties. Even though the gods had different names and adopted by people from different parts of the world – in Syria Adonis, Dionysus Trace, Attis of Phrygia, for instance – the basic concept of the cult of these gods was the same: these sons of gods died deaths violent and then revived to serve his people.
Just as the pagans had gods for salvation tangible in their old religions, they wanted nothing more than that of the new, they were unable to accept any invisible Deity, Paul was very set, then preach about a Savior named Jesus Christ, Son of God who died and then rose from the dead to save mankind from sin (Rom. 5:8-11, 6:8,9).
The Bible itself shows the error of thinking of Paul. While each of the four gospels speak of who crucified Jesus, was nothing but they talked about certain people, none of the disciples of Jesus mentioned that he was present when he was crucified, that if there was such a thing, the disciples had forsaken Jesus in the garden. (Mark 14:50).
In the Torah, God says that one who is “hanging on a tree,” crucified “is” condemned “(Deut 21:23). Paul turns around to this by saying that Jesus turned and sentenced to take the sins of man (Gal 3:13), but by doing so, however, Paul set aside the same law of God.
The resurrection, which Paul says that Jesus “conquered” death and man’s sin (Rom. 6:9, 10), plays an important role that he does not believe this is not a good Christian (1 Cor . 15:14).
Here, too, the Bible does not have much to support the ideas of Paul, at first not only there was no witness to the resurrection as such, but also that all such references are inconsistent in terms of who went to the tomb, what happened there, and as far as to whom Jesus appeared to him (Matt. 28: Mark 16: Luke 24, John 20).
In the second, but Christianity claims that the body after being raised there in spirit form (1 Cor. 15:44). Jesus came back without any physical changes occur, because as he ate with his disciples (Luke 24:30, 41-43), also let him touch his wounds (John 20:27). Finally, as well as the divine son of God in Christianity, Jesus says that shares attributes of God, this can not but make one think, therefore, as God may die …
In their zeal to win souls among the heathen, Paul simply work a number of symbolic pagan beliefs to reach a Christian system of salvation. No prophet, including Jesus himself, taught such concepts, the author of such is only Paul.
The Supreme Sacrifice: It has long been accustomed to making sacrifices to their gods, pagans readily accepted the notion of Paul that Jesus was the “ultimate sacrifice” by which through their sins washed blood. A joint ceremony at this time in various Middle Eastern religions, was “taurobolium”: A person descended into a pit and covered with a grid on which they killed a bull (or ram), with ceremonial rites. The person below the grid was covered with the blood spilled, the person in the hole under a dead animal, covered in blood, was called “reborn” with their sins washed and purified.
It is noteworthy that the Jews had left the sacrifices from the year 540 BC after the destruction of their Temple. The notions of Paul then, therefore, were in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Old Testament (Hosea 6:6) and also to the teachings of Jesus himself Matt. 9:13) where he said that God wanted to virtue, not sacrifices.
While Paul will put emphasis on “love” of God which involved the sacrifice of Jesus (Rom. 5:8), The Doctrine of Liberation of Sin shows a hard and strict Deity is pleased only with the death of his own innocent son . Here Paul was nowhere near first base, because the Old Testament is full of verses of love and mercy that God has for man (Ps. 36:540; Ps. 103: 8-17) which were revealed by Only through His forgiveness (Ex. 34: 6.7 -, Ps. 86: 5-7), of which I speak to Jesus (Matt. 6:12).
The pagan influence on Christianity extends to the same sacred symbol of this.
Though Paul called the cross of Jesus “the power of God” (1 Cor. 1: 18) the research in reference books such as Encyclopedia Britannica, The Dictionary of Symbols, The Cross in Rites, Architecture, and Art show that the cross as a religious symbol was used centuries before Jesus was born. Bacchus of Greece, Tammuz of Tyre, Chaldean Bel, and Odin in Norway are but a few examples of pagan gods who were the sacred symbol of the cross.
Original Sin: The central base of the Liberation Doctrine of Sin Paul is the notion that humanity is one race of people who does evil, it having been passed down to Adam his sin of eating the forbidden fruit. As a result of Original Sin, man can not serve as his own redeemer, good works can not help us, Paul says, because neither of these can satisfy the Justice of God (Gal. 2:16).
As a result of Adam’s sin, man is destined to die. By his death, however, Jesus took the punishment due to man, And through his resurrection, Jesus conquered death, and righteousness of the man turned to meet. To receive salvation, a Christian must have faith only in the death and resurrection of Jesus (Rom. 6:23)
Despite the importance of the concept of “original sin” in Christianity is not in any of the teachings of any prophet, including Jesus. In the Old Testament, God says: “… the child will not have to bear the sin of his father or the father will have to bear the sins of the son” (Ezekiel 18:20-22). Also emphasizes personal responsibility will Quran where God says, “… one that supports your sin will have to bear the sins of another … no man shall more than what the same ambition “(53:38,39).
The doctrine of original sin gave Paul the justification he needed for the pagan influence on his concept of salvation. Irresponsibility became the brand of Christianity by this doctrine, that because the Christian “transferred” their sins on Jesus, Christians assume no responsibility for their actions.
Salvation in Islam: For the seventh century, the doctrines of Paul had been embellished to Christianity a religion that was almost entirely made by humans. At this time, God decided to send his Prophet Muhammad as His Final Messenger, that to fix the mess religion for all mankind.
God is Almighty, and does not need charade to lead Christians to forgive this man. In the Quran God says that God created us all in a state of good (30:30), the no man has put the burden of “original sin”, having forgiven Adam and Eve (2:36-38 ; 7:23,24) as He has forgiven us (11:90 -, 39:53-56).
Islam tells us that we are all responsible for our own sins and actions (2: 286, 6:164) there is no need for a human savior in Islam, salvation comes from God alone (28:67).
This is how Islam seeking to return to the meaning of true monotheism, because in the Quran God asks, “Who can be better in religion of Him who subjected their entire being to God, does good and follows Abraham of the true faith? ” (4:1.25, 41:33).
The Religion of Man: The evidence is striking that the concept of salvation in Christianity – its Doctrine of Vicarious Atonement “did not come from God but from man via pagan rituals and beliefs of the same.
Paul effectively shift the center of worship away from God saying that Jesus was the divine agent of their salvation. (Gal. 2:20). Doing this, however, Paul set aside all the teachings of the prophets of God, and even the concept M monotheism itself, since God in Christianity needs to Jesus as his “helper” divine.
A closer look: With his own salvation at risk, the Christian should study what they believe and why. God says in the Qur’an: “0 People of the Book! Do not overdo their religion, nor say of God but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of God … because God one God, glory be to Him, much more exalted is He above having a son. To Him belong all things in heaven and the earth. And enough is God as He who arrange matters. ” (4:171).
