Old testament divorce

But I am curious, how would you define “saved in a Christian sense”? What does that sentence mean to you. I ask because I really want to know.

In the Non-Catholic Religions forum, I’m wont to say that the triumph of Christianity was to invent an illness (“You’re All Doomed”) and prescribe itself as the only cure (Yes, I know it’s more complicated than that but it conveys a point) and persist in asking the question of “Saved from what, exactly?” whenever people mention the word ‘salvation’ in the same sentence as the word ‘Judaism’.

We don’t share the idea of ‘Original Sin’, we don’t share an eschatology.

Thank you for your answer. I will consider it carefully because I grew up in a non-Christian faith and very often ran into the kids at school who told me i was doomed and prescribed their belief as the cure. I hated those kids.

I want to think about this for a while before I respond. Is it OK with you if I respond? If not please say so and I will just think on it and keep my thoughts to myself.

God Bless

I don’t mind except we’ve now diverted so far from the OP ‘Old Testament Divorce’ and we’ve moved into the world of ‘Non-Catholic Religions’ rather than ‘Liturgy and Sacraments’.
