A DIFFERENT GOSPEL

"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!" (Gal 1:6-9 NRSV)

What was being done to cause such corruption of the Good News of Jesus Christ? What was it that changed the Good News into a curse? What was it that took the saving power away? IS IT STILL BEING PRACTICED TODAY?
