Gal 1:7 meaning ????

[dan p]

Hi to all , and here is my take on Gal 1:7 .

1) Here is a literal Translation of Gal 1:7 ; " which is not another of the same kind , except there are some making you restless , and desiring to corrupt the gospel of Christ " .

2) The word " another " , is the Greek word ALLOS , meaning " other , another " , basically " another of the same kind " . It is used 2 times in Gal 1:7 and in 5:10 .

3) 2 different Greek words were translated " another " by the King James translators . Even though ALLOS and HETEROS are used interchangeably in some verses in the Bible , there are other places in the Bible where they are used to show CONTRAST , and one of these places is Gal 1:6,7 .

4) Verse 7 is showing us that there is a difference bwtween what the Judaizers preached and what Paul preached . The Gospel of the Kingdom is NOT the same as the Gospel of the Grace of God . That is the teaching here , and this is the way we are to understand it .

5) The words " would pervert " means " desiring to corrupt " , indicating a purpose . The Judaizers concidered Paul and his ministry to be wrong , and even spread RUMORS about him as as verse 23 says , that he was preaching the faith he onve destroyed , JUDAISM . The Kingdom preachers gave Paul more trouble than anyone else , even in Gentile country .

6) The Greek word for " pervert " is METASTREPHO , and means " to turnabout , turn around , desire to corrupt " . It is the idea of turning one thing into another , of turning the gospel of Christ into something that God NEVER intended .

7) The Law of Moses was never intended to be mixed with the Grace of God , but this is what is being preached in most assemblies today . This word " pervert " is parallel with the word " remove " in verse 6 .

8) The gospel of Christ is a title mentioned 10 times in the Bible , ALL BY Paul . The Gospel of Christ is part of the Revelation of the Mystery revealed to Paul in Rom 16:25 , but it is also known by other names .
#1 , Gospel of His Son , Rom 1:9
#2 , My Gospel , Rom 2:16 ; 16:25 ; 2 Tim 2:8
#3 , Gospel of your salvation , Eph 1:13
#4 , Glorious gospel of Christ , 2 Cor 4:4
#5 , Gospel of the Circumcision , Gal 2:7
#6 , Gospel of God , Rom 1:1 ; 15:16
#7 , Glorious gospel of the blessed God , 1 Tim 1:11
#8 , Gospel of peace , Rom 10:15 ; Eph 6:15
#9 , Christ's gospel , 2 Cor 2:12
#10 The Gospel of the Grace of God , Acts 20:24

The Gospel of the Kingdom is NEVER called the Gospel of Christ . The Kingdom Gospel has water baptism , for the forgiveness of sins ( Mark 1:4 ; Acts 2:38 ) and was essential for Salvation under the Gospel of the Kingdom in Mark 16:16 .

Those who refused to be Baptized REJECTED the counsel of God in Luke 7:30 .

According to the Gospel of the Grace of God , forgiveness of sins is by the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ ( Eph 1:17 ; Col 1:14 ) and salvation is by GRACE through faith ( Eph 2:8,9 ) This is a big difference .

Right, which was why Peter and the other apostles, at the council in Jerusalem, told the Gentiles that they need not be circumcised, but only to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood and from things strangled as well as from fornication.

This was after Peter told the council, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

Amen....and Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom...saying it was "at hand".
It was only after his blood was shed that Paul preached the "gospel of grace", but grace through faith has been the way of salvation all through time. It is the only way to enter into the kingdom. It was quite an adjustment for the Jews, no doubt...it had been available to them all along, but many didn't recognize it until the veil was rent at the cross and then the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost.

Same gospel, nonetheless.
