That was James, not Paul - and no, thats not legalism, thats fact. Unless you are willing to act on something, you don't really "believe" it.

nope. What Paul is saying is that you must put your faith into action or it is worthless. I can say "be warmed and filled" but if i don't give you things necessary to be warmed and filled...my words profit nothing..."as the body without the soul is dead...so faith without works is dead..abiding alone."

Paul was in fact a Gnostic.

being a legalist is irrelevant.
Dont forget, Paul is capital P.
