religion, does it affect the salvation of people

Religion cannot the person. Having a personal relationship with our CREATOR is the key that will save a person. If you will read the bible, person will be save if he/she accept Jesus as his/her personal saviour and Lord. Religion only affect the faith and motivation to a person.

I heard someone say recently that the word religion comes from a word that means to bind back; or to put it another way, to return one to bondage. That's the problem with religions, too often they take away the freedoms that have been purchased for us by Jesus Christ, or they try to put conditions on our salvation. I believe what people need is a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you have a true relationship with Jesus, you'll live as He taught because you want to do the right thing, not because you're being forced to, or you feel you'll go to hell if you don't.

People have been convinced by religion that they need saving of some sort. If you believe that you need saving then you are going to need that religion, or are you? God has fixed the problem ahead of time. We are all eternal. God is never going to do without all His wonderful kiddies. As for the wayward souls getting into all kinds of trouble, if God can create universes, He can handle a few wayward kids especially some as wonderful as all you out there. Never worry for God loves all His kids UNCONDITIONALLY!! He can come up with a much better solution than an old fiery pit. That's just one of mankind's inventions.

Nothing will affect your salvation because there is NO salvation Your religion will affect those around you.

God, Christ, Buddha etc, are only the thing which people put their faith on. If you believe, they exist, if you don't they're nothing. Sometimes people feels their heart empty, so they believe a religion to fill it. No matter you believe a religion or not, everything depends on yourself. God can only affect your spirit, but not your physical body, nor your physical life.

hello.. for me religion is a way of how to communicate with the one you believe as your creator and also it teaches ways to salvation.. so yes for me.. religion makes you believe on what others belief so its really a big thing for me.

you know every one has to belive in something, ther is a disease, not quite a disease but its a psychic encounter when you what to be the truth anything your brain thinks it is , if you belive in your religion and think that is the best you automaticly feel bether becouse you whant to, and you belive that is the hand of god , im not saying that its no god only that maybe god is not now religion says it is maybe god is the creator of the univers and thats it the life frome us begon to evolve, if god is made afther us , put your self in his position would you like every houar that some one should pray to you and worship you and make his entire life dedicated to you ? lets be serious not even our children dont do this and im glad , god crerated us becouse he is a good we thak him for it and love him but what religion dose its exageration, thei think that becouse thei will worship him more and more thei will be the ones ho are right. But thei forghet to spend more time helping thouse how need help not worshiping god every houar.. This is my opinion and i dont whant to hurt anyone frome my words

Religion cant definitely save your soul but its always best to look for a religion that will help you return to God. There are already so many religions in the world today and we cant do anything about that. All we can do now is be concerned about the sakes of our souls and work out our salvation. Salvation is an individual work, we cant ask anybody to do it for us.

I will talk about Christian religion. Religion cannot save us it is only through Jesus Christ. What is the use of religion if your life is full of sin and contrast to what the bible teaches.I also disagree to those churches who is claiming that if we will not join their religion or church we will not be saved (it is my own opinion). However, religion can affect our salvation for there are other religion who is for me are not telling the truth although they belong to Christian church.

I believe it does not affect one's salvation.Salvation will not solely depend on one's religion but it is dependent on the relationship that you have with your Savior. It is more of the personal relationship between you and your Savior, although religion can help in strengthening that relationship. But more than that, it is your trust in the words of your Savior that keeps one believing in salvation.
