Salt is to enhance the flavor of food. if no salt is added, no food taste good. So human being are like the salt of the Earth. they are the beauty of earth, and the most loving creature of the Creator.~!

It should also be noted that no crops can grow where the Earth has been salted; The ground there is for all intents and purposes dead.
So if you wanted you could even interpret that to mean that Christians destroy the Earth wherever they go...
The majority of quotes from the Bible require context... otherwise they can mean almost anything you want them to...

Here we go again John Paul!!
Salt in the earth means that as Christians were are to perserve the earth
When you think about it what do people use salt for to perserve goods.
You should listen to Say So by Israel
clear up any misconceptions

We christians are her to make the world right or better. Just like a food, the salt makes it tastes better. Without salt, the world would be even more corrupted

Many explanations have been given and several aspects of the analogy are useful but I believe the primary meaning to the analogy given to us by the Lord Jesus is that as salt preserves and adds flavor to the things that it is added to, Christians are to preserve and add flavor to mankind. We preserve mankind through the spread of the Gospel and add flavor to life through living life according to His commands.
Hope that helps.

Salt is also healing. We gargle with salt water to heal our throat or to heal the socket where a tooth was pulled.
So salt adds flavor, preserves and heals.

The good moral men of the earth.
But the Bible was referring to the children of Israel.
