Galatians Chapter 1 Discussion Page 5

To Hector D. on Paul/Arabia. - here's a tho't; I got it from a book and it sounds reasonable. Paul had just experienced a traumatic thing with the God he had always believed in. So, during his stay in Damascus he found he couldn't stay (and God knew all of this all along), but he needed the time he had with the other apostles for the revelation of God's word. cont.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be giving him from heaven.
You saying,there was no church or no Gentiles, received it in a different way, different kind of gospel. Where does it come from??? All 12 Paul received the same Spirit.We can to:John6:44,1John1:9,Baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire:Matthew3:11, changed:2Corinthians5:17( you will know impossible not to know

To D. Taylor, first of all Paul which was Saul did not receive his revelation in Arabia. Saul received it on his way to Damascas. Read his conversion in Acts Chap 9. Paul did not go to Jerusalem because of fear of persecution to the church, and he could not stay in Damascas because in 2Cor. 11:32 he had to flee from Aretas the king and that's why he went into Arabia; perhaps to preach the gospel.

Bruce: Gal.1:17 Why did'nt Paul go to Jewusalem to be taught by the twelve apostles? That is what he means when he says that the gospel that he preached is "not after man" He did not learn "his" gospel from the 12 before him. Instead he went to Arabia (most likely to mount Sinai) where he saw our risen Lord Jesus and received new revelations that had never been revealed before, until Paul.

Bruce: Read Gal.1:11,12 Simply believe what each word is saying. Take Gods word as truth. Forget what religion has taught you or man and take God at his word for what he says. Stick with KJV only for it is truly the authorized version. Note what Paul says "the gospel which was preached of me is not after man" He received it in new revelations from the risen Lord. The 12 never had those revelations

"The Church" Baptized by the Spirit preaching the way of salvation. Thousands were already saved and baptized. Acts2:41 These are the ones Paul was persecuting! "Hitler"of that day! Received mercy, road to Damascus,3days later was Baptized. Nothing new! Ephesians 4:4-5-- One Lord, one faith, one Baptism,---. Genesis 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles Divided--. Always Gentiles,Old--New.

Irene 123 Gal.1:23 Paul is speaking of " time past " when he was, past tense in the Jews religion. He at that time in " time past" was an enemy of the Jewish believers. There were no Gentiles then and there was no Body of Christ mentioned until Christ saved Paul and poured out his grace on Paul. A whole new thing happened. The risen glorified Lord in heaven gave only Paul this new body of truth.

To Dianne Taylor - you believe Paul preached a different gospel from the original apostles. So going on down to Gal. 1:23 - "....... now preacheth the faith WHICH HE ONCE DESTROYED."

Rom. 10:3 - "....... and going about to establish their own righteousness ......."

As you read just take God at his word and simply believe the words on the page. Paul says that the gospel that he preaches is not after man. Believe what he says. The gospel that Paul preaches is from the risen glorified Lord Jesus Christ, so it can not be the same gospel that the twelve apostles were preaching when Christ was in the flesh in his earthly ministry to the Jews.Different gospel.

Ben:Whoever preaches another "way" let him be accursed.period Not??? There is only one way, the narrow way through the blood of the lamb. Revelations 20:15

I believe it is a wonderfull chapter to study and to learn more about the Bible and Christ Live I enjoy reading it and study it.

Ben, we have been called to hear the Word and do the word. For hearers and doers will be blessed. We haven't been called to be translaters, changing the meaning and message of the word. All scripture is given to us by the Holy Ghost.

Yes, indeed, God works our salvation if we surrender to him

I think Galatians, is ironic and a radical lesson .
1. Being Pau,l was a persecuter of Christian and turned out to be a Apostle, /minister of Jesus Christ.
2. Instead of looking at man for his stewardship he searched Christ, as his certifier.Although, I must say psychology this stance from this type of person/ thinker such as Paul, is not a true radical it is a given .

U are right now that I think of it Mary had never been with a man the Holy Ghost came threw Mary 's Body to bring Jesus to the Earth threw a Women that had never laid with a Man .so she had No childern at that time.Now when she got married to Joesph their childern came from( flesh) and( blood ) Jesus came from the spirit of God so No he had No blood sister and brother like we do Amen

Verse 9: Let him be accursed??? In the Gr. dictionary, this Gr. word anathema; also used in 1 Cor.16:22, is presented as a compound word. Ana is defined as "thoroughly" and thema means "to lay a foundation of faith or doctrine." The word foundation in ch.3:11 is from the same Gr. root as our thema. Paul may have meant, "If anyone is wrong, thoroughly lay the foundation for new testament faith.

Never say what u will not do in this life Jesus is in charge no matter what because Paul hated the Christian but he ended up preaching God Word

God has given the grace to preach about Him His great works

Only 12 were Apostles, of whom more than one was named James. Brother and brethren can mean kinsman or intimate friend. Look at Abraham and Lot. And David and Jonathan. Why did Jesus place His mother in the care of His dearest friend, the Apostle John, when tradition would have had Mary cared for by any other son when Jesus died. I don't believe Jesus had a brother.

Jesus was in Paul, Jesus is in every believer, praise God.

Paul is saying that he was call by God and no man he is referring to his conversion on the road to Damacus, only God through His resurrected son Jesus who God raise from the dead Paul is saying that He also has been raise from the dead from his past of killings of the church.He is saying that reguardless of the pass, He has been call my the grace of God to Preach a bold Gospel, He is confronting face to face because of Christian backsliding from the true gospel,He is saying that God has call him to the heathen and God has called others aspotles to minister to the Christian.he is speaking of the Gift and call that God had specially place upon his life.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14 Paul is telling everyone that "God " is the one Who is leading and guiding him. Since it was God,not "man " that revealed the "Truth " to Paul, he knew better than to rely on "man 's " earthly wisdom.God is Faithful and True.So if we follow the Spirit of Truth... Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13

GALATIANS 1:6-9 COMMENTS 5 9 2015 9:45 PM These verses, Apostle Paul, reproves the Galatians believers for forsaking the gospel of Christ. V6-7 2Cor.11:4 Acts15:1 V8 1Cor.16:22 V9Deut.4:2 12:32 Prov.30:6 Rev.22:18. We standstill into the gospel of Christ that we have received. 1 Cor. 15:3-4 . God bless through by the Lord Jesus Christ. A-men.

The reach of this verse is not limited to Catholic priests only, hence the word PREACHER. A prevalent lie that I hear being preached is eternal hell-fire. If eternal hell-fire included spirits of blood and water then these verses would not be true. Psalms 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalms 145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled.......the son of perdition is the anti-Christ, the devil. May the LORD Jesus Christ bless all who yearn for truth and obedience in Him. Amen

paul was a reall man of God of which leaders of today must copy.

For by the grace of jesus our sins are for given let no man deceive you that you can not be forgiven

Do the catholic priests ignore this verse when they teach the praying of the rosary? Jesus, and any of His Apostles never did preach the praying of the rosary... If this prayer was the cause of what those 3 children who testified that they saw Mary, Then still they should not have taught other than what the Bible has not been teaching as what Apostle Paul said in Galacians 1:8...

Paul was speaking about about what he was and what he is through the grace and the redemption of our saviour Jesus Christ.

I love reading the comments that folks share about their beliefs and interpretations of the verses. Udemeabasi, it seems you are comparing Galatians 1 8 to Romans 12 14, but if you read the Roman 's verse carefully, I believe you will see that Paul is speaking of person to person relationships. Whereas, in Galatians, he is referring to the gospel, that is the life, death and resurrection of our Lord. Be blessed, my friend.

The Christian calling is not of man but of God
