So then Paul says "some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves."
Were there slave traders in Galatia, or what was Paul talking about?

Given that there were Gentiles who had converted to Judaism (involving circumcision) and that most of Pauls Gentile converts to Jesus came from the synagogue (i.e, God-fearers), I believe these 'false' brothers were Gentile converts to Judaism (though not believers in Christ) who had infiltrated Paul's groups to check the status of Paul's converts (were they circumcised or not?) This would fit with Act 15:1 in which some claimed that Gentiles had to be circumcised and obey the Law of Moses (i.e. become converts to Judaism) to be saved.
What could they do to enslave the Galations?
Is this a personal debate between you 2?Try to convince them that Paul is wrong and that they really do need to convert and keep the Law to be saved.

Ahhh.....had to go back and look at that myselfNo, Stryder is in it too. This isn't my thread. What was the OP?
Hmm....I thought I started a poll thread on "sunday worship" on the GT board but can't find it nowI guess it's been derailed. Sorry.
OK, So Sunday is not wicked, who would ever get that idea?
Pick any thread
I found it ehehe [didn't show on on thread title search for some reason......had to use Google].Pick any thread
Why does a free Christian consider keeping the law to be enslavement?

I mean to say " righteousness by the law" as written by Moses and all the prophets (OT).Problem is that righteousness was never by the OT.
Text proves that Israel did seek righteousness by keeping the law.Steve Peterson said:No one is disputing that. It never was by keeping the Law.
You cant have it both ways Steve. Now you're trying to prove that all are under the law.Steve Peterson said:This does not negate the Law as a lifestyle for God's people. Go down just one more verse:
Luke 16:17 It is easier for heaven and earth to pass than for one tittle of the law to lose authority.
Jesus own words. Heaven and earth have not passed. The law still has authority.
You are twisting my words.
'...to be saved' is the operative clause.
What is silly is in the mind of the beholderWell, that's just silly
