The book of James(New testament) is propably the best book that describes the path a true christian should follow. I have noticed that James do not mention anything about "having to believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins". Instead he teaches to uphold the law and follow the path that Jesus taught.
Then there is Paul's letters, these letters, over and over, try to emphasise the importance of us "having to believe that Jesus died for us". I never saw that he actualy encouraged to follwing the teachings of Jesus.
My Question: Why is it that so much Faith is put in Paul when he never knew Jesus? In Acts, everything Paul came to know about Jesus came from the Apostles. Yet Paul's letters, which tells the same thing, over and over, takes up the majority of the New Testament.
