  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Gal 1 6 ¶ I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;
7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.


Who is the "we"?

The real question begging an answer is, to what gospel is PAUL here referring ???? Since the ONLY gospel or good news on the table BEFORE Pauls gospel was that of the KINGDOM...Peters gospel and that preached by Christ while on the earth...then it must be to THAT gospel that he is referring.

The Word DIFFERENT means a gospel of a different kind. This ought to stop any bible student in his tracks to LOOK and SEE what is really being said here.

Paul is saying that people were deserting the RISEN Christ who called people by his GRACE,( no longer by the law and the prophets) and going BACK to the only other good news that existed BEFORE the age of GRACE, which was Peters gospel. (ie: the law of Moses ).

7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ( a term used ONLY by Paul to distinguish the MYSTERY from Prophecy)

8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. (Paul is the one preaching and teaching here...so he is warning them to be AWARE that anyone going BACK to the gospel BEFORE his gospel from the RISEN Christ is in reality preaching a CONTRARY gospel and he will be accursed. NO LAFFING MATTER here.)

9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

Anyone preaching good news contrary to the gospel received from PAUL, he repeats...let him be accursed...OUCH. Harsh? Yep......and for a reason. The gospel preached by Peter and the boys and by Christ in His earthly ministry is NOT the gospel of OUR salvation in the present age of GRACE!

So you see, the correct question to have asked would have been..."What IS the other gospel that Paul is referring TO?":thumbsup:
