Hello my friend, and good day to you.
When I see the term "saved" it seems like you're speaking from a Christian slant. The Torah perspective is not that man is evil and lost, and is born with the stain of "original sin". Are you interested in what the Torah has to say about the destiny of the nations of the world?

It just means eating meat that was taken from an animal while it was still alive. I think as long as you're buying your meat at a store your pretty safe.

Not exactly. Many non-Kosher butchers will start cutting the meat while the animal is an an unconscious state (they shock them) but not yet dead. Eating such meat would be a serious violation. It is recommended to buy Kosher meat to avoid this problem as apparently Jimmy does.
Also I'm told that on the show "Fear Factor" they will sometimes violate this prohibition by having people eat live stuff.
Also I think UntilShilohComes hits the nail on the head again here. The idea of "savior" is more of a Christian idea. In Judaism we beleive in hevean and hell, but they are nothing like what most people believe they are. Our main focus is in making THIS world into a place where G-d's presence is revealed. With that said, there is tremendous reward for those who follow the Noachide commandments in this world and the next.

Eww... that's disgusting. And as for Fear Factor, I'm not surprised. What a stupid show that was. "To win the money, all you have to do is eat these pig's testicles!"
