What is meant by the word Salvation?

If you believe that Jesus is the Savior then Jesus is the savior of all and the condemner of none. The disciples were commissioned to share this Good News of the HAPPY God and teach the forgiveness of sins rather than the blaming & accusing of so called "sinners" and holding them to their errors. The word sin is an old english word and simply means to “miss the mark” and we have all missed it. Sin is a mistake and thankfully Jesus taught us, it is finished, done, over with, now stop talking about your ability to make mistakes and receive “God's grace that is sufficient for you.”

The word salvation means wholeness and wellness and is an ongoing process of a deepening, meaningful relationship with the divine. We do not teach sin consciousness. We speak often about God consciousness (awareness). If you tell a child he/she is stupid then that is the behavior they will demonstrate. If you tell them of their positive attributes then THAT is what they will tend to demonstrate. I believe the same principle applies to adults on the spiritual path too.
