The word of God
The "word of God" they received must have been something different from the Bible no? This would seem to indicate that their proclamation of the "gospel of God" (v9), which reads as a verbal proclamation…

Circumcise Your Interpretation
Looking at a text like this should raise a few questions. I think it is an excellent example of how most of us are comfortable approaching the Bible on it's own terms. We are able to understand that there…

Galatians vs Acts
This seems in stark contrast to what is reported in Acts. It seems doable that we can reconcile the visit(s?) to Jerusalem, but he is emphatic about not even being known by ANY apostles, as opposed to…

Fulfilling The Law
Paul claims that love is the fulfillment of the law here. It is also claimed that Jesus fulfilled the law (Matt 5:17)...ergo, Jesus = love ...and that's why people say that.

Jesus Thought there was a literal "Kingdom of God"
To make a claim like this, he had to assume a real material place would exist. What "kingdom" could this be? Is this the "new earth"?
