Paul lays out clear directives to Galatia. There is no other gospel. You cannot change or pervert the message of Christ. He uses his own experience to confront those who are deserting the faith. Paul used to preach against Christ and now he is the leader of the earthly church. Galatians 1 gives us a great admonition of not changing from essential Christology. In our plethora of religious and non-religious views of today, we are reminded by Paul there are core tenants in which we do not dilute or change. Here is the passage...
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!"
