If we by ourselves are responsible for our own salvation---then we by ourselves must seek to be in control of our own salvation---and so we are bound to seek to be in control of each other---and so be in conflict with each other---and alienated from each other. If we by ourselves are responsible for our own salvation---then we are bound to seek security in personal invulnerability through control---for to trust others to do what is essential to our own salvation is to fail to fulfill our responsibility for assuring our own salvation. If we by ourselves are each responsible for our own salvation---then we are led to make assumptions and adopt attitudes and behavioral patterns which will logically lead to personal and communal alienation and disintegration. It is clearly disintegrative of persons and communities to believe that we by ourselves are responsible for our own salvation in terms of what we believe, do, achieve, avoid, refrain from, feel, think, say and seek. Such a belief leads us into traps, collusions and prisons---and so is to be carefully avoided. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
