Different, strange, perverted gospel
Ga.4:10-11. Not good news at all Condemns relativism, pluralism… Mt.7:22-23; 28:20; 2 Co.11:4
Gospel is exclusive. Ga.2:4; 3:15 Not another (un-gospel) (Ga.1:11; 2:14)
There is only one gospel, not many suited to different tastes

V. Serious Admonition, 8-9
“Don’t keep the change!”
1. We: Paul (apostles subject to same conditions as others). Ga.1:1, 11-12) Today: “Paul’s view…” Gospel is exclusive If Paul couldn’t change it . . .?
2. Angel: 2 K.18; Rv.5:11
Consequences to Paul / Angel
If anyone preach to you as Gospel anything besides what we preached… let him be anathema
Angels not subject to church discipline This is removal from favor of God Ga.5:10, troublers will be troubled…
8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed 9As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed

Chrysostom
“Don't tell me of John, don't tell me of James. If one of the highest angels were to come, corrupting the truth originally preached, he must be rejected ... When the truth is in question, respect of persons is inadmissible.”
Ga.4:14Now they receive
another kind
Hb.2:2Lord’s words
outweigh angels’
8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed 9As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed
Now they have drifted, in spite of Paul’s warnings
If anyone… (9)?
Deceived? Mt.15:14 Good? Jn.3, 7, 19 Sincere? Ga.1:10 Zealous? Ga.1:13-14; Mt.23:15 Mostly religiously right? Ga.1:14b-15
