Actually I typed the above wrong. That is from the NIV I believe. Here they are from an actual Authorized King James Bible (blowing the dust off of it), it must be around a hundred years old since it was my paps when he was younger.
Ephesians 2:8–9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I brought this up instead of the crucifixion and resurrection because the above texts emphasise the importance of faith over works to begin with. If there is doubt to anything in the bible about any topic than the rest falls apart then. This is the real AKJV bible translation to Matthew 7:12.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
I get confused myself with this. There are parts in the bible that mention the importance of works and not sinning while others stress the importance of faith. I’m not sure why there are different bibles as well. Which bible is the most accurate then? Regardless of which bible you read they all seem to mention faith as the way into heaven, not works. It all comes down to believing Jesus died for our sins, the resurrection and crucifixation of Christ are just a smaller example of the much larger issue of faith in general. Denying one thing would be denying everything else.
