Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
First and foremost, let us make it clear that what Paul is addressing in Galatians is a "different gospel," which is, in fact, a false gospel. We should also agree that Paul feels so strongly about the "different gospel" being proclaimed that he wishes those who teach it would be "accursed" or, you might say, condemned to Hell. Now, Paul is not going to immediately get into the nitty-gritty of the false gospel, though he will give us some hints about it in these opening two chapters, and thankfully, since Galatians is a short book, we can read it quickly in a single sitting and catch most of the connections without a lot of extra study.
Paul reminds the Galatians that "The gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel." In other words, the true gospel does not come from men but from God. He also tells the Galatians that he went up to Jerusalem to talk to the Apostles and to make sure that he was not teaching something false. This is likely a reference to Acts 15, in which Paul and Barnabas went to visit the brethren in Jerusalem to discuss the false teachers who were coming to Antioch and preaching the necessity of circumcision for salvation. "But," Paul says, "Even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek." And that statement, along with the reference to Acts 15, tells us what is at the heart of this "different gospel." From the early days of the ministry of the Apostles, false teachers were proclaiming that salvation in Christ could only be valid if the Gentile believers were to be circumcised like the Jews. Remember, Paul says that anyone who teaches such a thing should be condemned to Hell.
