Galatians

'''Bible doctrines affected by modern versions''' <p>Gal 3:1 "<strong>that ye should not obey the truth</strong>" is omitted. The Galatians had been bewitched by the Jewish legalizers who had put them under the Law to keep saved. Paul tells them that in so doing they were not obeying the truth. The truth was that they were saved by grace and that all spiritual blessings were theirs in Christ. To turn from that is to be in error.</p> <p>Gal 3:17 "<strong>in Christ</strong>" is dropped. Paul is talking about the covenant with Abraham through his seed which was Christ. The law was added later and did not affect the covenant of promise to those who would be saved by believing as Abraham did. God promised Abraham that through his seed (singular) all the families of the earth would be blessed. That was a covenant confirmed before of God "in Christ."</p> <p>Gal 4:7 "<strong>an heir of God through Christ</strong>" is changed to "an heir through God." The inheritance is to the children of God through the mediator ship of Christ. We are not heirs of God through God, but through Christ. The change here is intended to destroy the reliance upon the Lord Jesus Christ who said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."</p> [[Category:Studies and Guides]] [[Category:Bible]]
