A salvação integral do ser como resultado da comunhão e mutualidade

Abstract

Having as central issue 'the salvation' of BEING through the mutuality, this research starts indicating the meaning of the word BEING to be the core of this work. We chose the term BEING derived from the philosophy, for we understand that it best represents the human being as a whole. We showed how such BEING is constituted through a process of identification with the other in social relations and his identity that is built of concepts and parameters comprising his individuality since very early age. Salvation is seen in a broad sense as from the original Greek word, which includes the health of BEING in all aspects such as physical, mental, psychic, self and spiritual. We have presented the concept of Communion considered of utmost importance for the salvation of BEING may occur in the living body of Christ. The mutuality is analyzed as something that has been lost in recent times. Mutuality involves developing personal relationships in the Church where the concept of God s family is manifested and there is the possibility of salvation of the members of the church. There are various concepts of mutuality in the Scriptures, but we chose three of them: love, exhortation and forgiveness. The mutual love is described in three different characteristics: the love that gives itself completely, the love that means friendship and the love that is more focused on the care, the zeal and the diligence of a brother to another. Secondly, we included mutual exhortation, pointing out that the church needs the exhortation. We showed how this exhortation should be indicating its results. We have indicated some of the texts in which the apostles used the exhortation to confront, encourage or console the Church. And finally, it is the mutual forgiveness starting with the definition of the concept and pointing out how this forgiveness should be. We also demonstrated the need to release forgiveness, so necessary for human health.
