mm:The problem with the theology that works save is that then Jesus didn't have to die.

Titanites: That is an invented conflict of those who do not trust in the Scriptures.

No, it's actually Holy Spirit inspired Scripture written by Paul.

Galatians 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

The Holy Spirit inspired Scripture written by Paul that you quoted is talking about righteousness through the law, which is correct. We are not talking of works of the law:

Romans 3:20 20 Therefore by the <>deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

No, the works we are talking about are like in Matthew 25:31-46 where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats. Remember the questions:

1. Did you feed the hungry?

2. Did you clothe the naked?

3. Did you give a drink to the thirsty, etc.

And if you aren't doing those kind of works it will not be good for you:

Matt 25:41-46 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 'for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 'I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?' "Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you did not do [it] to Me.' "And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

These are the same works talked about in James 2. It is surprising that people who claim to know Scripture do not know the difference between these works and works of the law.
