Class #8: St. Paul makes a distinction between the Galatians and the false teachers. In attempting to restore (6:1) the people of the congregations, he is gentle even while he reveals their error. However, when St. Paul speaks about the false teachers(1:9, 5:10, 5:12), he is rough and even condemning of those who are troubling the consciences of the Galatians.
Their error is two-pronged. They have turned away from God Himself and the true Gospel, which is the good news about the forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ.
