I believe that Galatians 1 8 is completely contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, which Paul himself recognized in Romans 12 14. In as much as I cannot say for certain that it was a mistranslation, neither can I say for sure that it depicted the level of maturity of Paul at the time, I will rather choose to live by the gospel. To love my enemies, do good to them that hate me, bless them that curse me and pray for them that despitefully use me and persecute me. There are so many today preaching 'another gospel '. My response to those is to pray for them, that their eyes of understanding be enlightened if they are sincerely wrong. For those whose wrong message is for personal gains, my response is to pray for them to have an encounter with Christ that will deliver them, while my prayer to those following them is for their eyes to be opened to the truth of the gospel, that they may be set free from the bondage of wrong doctrines. Our response should be love at all times. That is the only thing we owe to all men. We contend for the faith by standing by the truth and speaking the truth, even if it is going to cost us our lives. Not to please ANY MAN.
