Philippians
>{2:12} Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
{2:13} For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.

How do you reconcile the two? You're not suggesting that the Bible is self contradictory are you?
Adam Russell
I'm not suggesting the Bible is contradictory, I'm suggesting your personal interpretation of the Bible is wrong.
Asher Jones
You aren't providing the alternative explanation

I think the video he embed implies that the correct interpretation of the Bible is the interpretation that has been used for almost 2000 years.

They're intertwined. If you truly believed that a bridge is stable enough to get you across, would you avoid it? Much of what is written in the Bible is about what is inside the heart. The entire sermon on the mount focuses on this saying that it is not good enough that you did not commit adultery with a woman, but that if you so much as look at her with lust, it's as if you committed adultery with her in your heart. Fundamentally, this is what both Catholics and Protestants believe, but the sheer amount of autistic rivalry muddles the water to the effect that it seems like one thinks just saying they believe is enough while the other seems to think that doing enough good things is enough.
However, one of the biggest takeaways of the NT is that works do not save BUT faith without works is empty.
In other words:
No. Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life, and no one is saved except through Him.
No. Faith without works is dead. If you truly believe that Jesus is Lord then your life should reflect that.
Robert Peterson
You are saved through faith alone. "Works" exist to bring you (and others) closer to Him during your earthly lifetime.
