Gal 1

[Jerrysch]

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"?

Galatians 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

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;

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?"
