Salvation by works

Before Jesus how did people went in to heaven?

By doing good deeds and repenting of sins? because if so, it's pretty much the same thing and Jesus seems superfluous.

And yet, nowher "believe only" is to be found
Matthew 25
It is clear as the sun and variances in translation are only words used, sense is always the same

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed?
And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And he called the twelve (…) And they cast out many devils
If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

Nobody went to Heaven before Jesus…

>(Tribulations as in faith, shhhhh)

Elijah ascended to Heaven on a chariot of fire, pre-Jesus. Your move, son.

Elijah and Enoch went to Heaven, body and soul, while still alive. But nobody went to Heaven after dying.

Moving the goalposts? Moving the goalposts.

Lazy to use search engine or what? Matthew 5:20

Jesus said something that contradicts my belief so he was probably exaggerating.
Kek. The absolute state of sola fide.

How will prots ever recover.

You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.
James 2:24
What did they mean by this???
