Doctrine of salvation in Christian theology among Exclusivity, comprehensiveness, religious pluralism

Share the post :

Salvation is an important goal in all religions. Every religious person desires to be saved. However, this goal was marred by many deviations in Judaism and Christianity, due to their mistaken belief in the first sin.

 This origin played a pivotal role in the Christian faith in particular, in which the doctrine of redemption was closely linked. The Christian religion was founded on the idea that whoever did not believe that Christ (peace be upon him) was crucified in redemption for human sin, he will not be saved. However, the desired salvation was subjected - over the course of the historical development of the Christian faith - to some expansion, so the comprehensive theory was officially proposed in the Second Vatican Council, despite its preservation of the traditional exclusive idea in terms of content, and contradicting it only from a formal standpoint, this theory developed and was presented under the title of religious pluralism, which received general rejection, because it is incompatible with the search for truth, which is the innate goal of man. Islam is not isolated from this goal, as it is a religion that seeks to achieve human happiness on earth and in the hereafter. Therefore, it has his own statement, and vision of salvation that is consistent with - and emanating from - his cosmic vision.
