Book Of Galatians
Galatians, more than any other single book, became the manifesto of freedom and revival of Biblical truth of the Reformation era: “the Magna Carta of spiritual emancipation.” Few books have had a more profound influence on the history of mankind than has this small tract, for such it should be called. Christianity might have been just one more Jewish sect, and the thought of the Western world might have been entirely pagan had it never been written. Galatians embodies the germinal teaching on Christian freedom which separated Christianity from Judaism, and which launched it upon a career of missionary conquest. It was the cornerstone of the Protestant Reformation, because its teaching of salvation by grace alone became the dominant theme of the preaching of the Reformers. — Merrill Tenney

8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that
which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto
you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
· The Mormons did receive their gospel from an angel named Moroni and not the
gospel of the Holy Bible!
· Moroni, according to the Book of Mormon, was the last Nephite prophet, historian, and
military commander who lived in the Americas in the late fourth and early fifth centuries.
He is later known as the Angel Moroni, who presented the golden plates to Joseph
Smith, who translated the plates upon which the Book of Mormon was originally written.
· “... accursed”: Original Word: “ἀνάθεμα, ατος, τό”, anathema; accursed! Paul has
just made a deliberate and extreme statement (Twice!). He calls down a curse on anyone
who proclaims a gospel to them contrary to that which they had received from him.
· 331 anáthema (from 303 /aná, "up" concluding a process, which intensifies 5087
/títhēmi, "to place") – properly, place up, referring to something pledged (given up) to
destruction; a divine curse/ban ("accursed"); an "oath-curse."
10] For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased
men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
· In the Book of Isaiah 53, you have encrypted 40 names with the disciples, you have
several James and three Mary’s, Mattathias, etc.
· There is another view that the 12 disciples were called first to minister to the House of
Israel, although the door was opened in Acts 10 to the Gentiles through the apostle
Peter.
· The apostle Paul was clearly called to be the apostle to the Gentiles and whether he
gets counted as one of the twelve is another complicated issue.
