What are you

Galatians 1:6–10 CSB

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him! For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Today we are going to focus on the Early church and things they were doing that we as christian tend to do today in our own way.

Galatians was a Book written to one of the early church to deal with a manner of issues that was going on in the church. here is this first chapter we see that Paul is writing to the church in a manner of speaking to the group of people that were causing division in the church.

They were turning people in the church away due to details that they thought were important to be saved in the church. these group of people were know as the Judaizers.

Judaizers

A Judaziers is someone that was trying to push Jewish beliefs on to a gentile.

when reading this passage often we think Paul is really going in on this church, By saying they should be curse. I wonder how they were prostrating the gospel.

after much research we found that in Acts 15 it talks about what these men were doing.

Acts 15:1–3 CSB

Some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom prescribed by Moses, you cannot be saved.” After Paul and Barnabas had engaged them in serious argument and debate, Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this issue. When they had been sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and they brought great joy to all the brothers and sisters.

We see that they were trying to force their beliefs on the gentiles to become Jewish in order to go to there church.

Trying to force our belief on people tends to be something that we do in more way than one.

Christian’s Today (What’s Next)

Often times in the church we start to act like Judaizers in our own way. weather it is to trying to tell each other how to behave, how church is suppose to go as far as music and preaching, telling others how to dress.

Example: Wearing a Hat

the lesson we take from Paul is that everyone is welcome to the church. everyone is welcome to worship God in the manner they are the most comfortable.
