"I don't understand Salvation"

BEING HEALED

A tid bit on the definition of the word Salvation.

that’s what "salvation" meant in New Testament times.
"Salvation" is a beautiful sounding Latin word, however, it was never part of the New Testament Greek Vocabulary. Not until six or eight centuries ago did the word "salvation" come into translations. Before that time it was "health" that was one’s salvation. And all of the very oldest Anglo-Saxon Scriptures translate it "health" not "salvation."

In Response To: Salvation (George)

I've been round and round about this subject on salvation, and never do quite get what it means, no matter how much I read and study the bible.

What is the difference between salvation and eternal life? Why are there different terms for the same thing, if they indeed are the same?

Physical salvation is easy enough for me to grasp, but spiritual salvation is beyond my comprehension. I mean, I wouldn't know how to explain such a concept to someone if I were asked.

I can understand that there is some spiritual change that takes place, or maybe mental or moral... but what it actually means, is kind of fuzzy to me."
