It’s amazing that you pull this claim out of thin air then post passages to support it that have nothing whatsoever to do with the Galatians. Were the Galatians worried about washing their hands before they ate? Is that what Paul rebuked them for? Was Jesus rebuking the Galatians in Matthew 15? Was the commandment for circumcision man’s commandment or God’s commandment. See you don’t even care about the discussion, or what the scriptures actually teach. All you care about is how can I twist it to make it say what I want it to.Actually no. According to Jesus and Paul they were the ones not keeping God's commandments but obeying their own rules instead, so you have it backward.
Case in point
Mat 15:1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
Romans 2: 21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?
