"But even
if we, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN,
preach
ANY OTHER gospel to you
than what we
have preached to you,
let him be
accursed.
As we have said before, so
now I say again,
if anyone preaches
any other gospel to you
than what you
have received,
let him be
ACCURSED."
Galatians 1:8-9
Tough words. But crucial, as shown by his stating it twice, thereby calling specific attention to it.
Why is there a curse on anyone preaching a Gospel different from the one the Apostles gave us?
Because God has provided only one atonement for us, his Son Jesus Christ who was tortured and crucified in our place, paying such a heavy price for our salvation. That atonement is the ONLY way that we can be saved.
Satan hates the Gospel, and he constantly tries to turn the eyes of mankind away from it. He doesn't care what you believe as long as it isn't the truth. He has many counterfeits, and he works diligently at bringing people into the many false religions he has established.
There are terrible consequences to that, so much so that the Scriptures pronounce a double curse upon anyone who brings a "gospel" other than the true one, and it mentions specifically those brought by a supposed angel, for example the "angel" Moroni of the Mormons, or the "angel" who supposedly gave Mohammed his perverted message resulting in Islam. These are actually under the CURSE of almighty God.
"Nor is
there salvation in any other,
for
there is no other name under heaven
given
among men -by which we must be saved."
Acts
4:12
"I am the
way, the truth, and the life.
NO ONE
one comes to the Father EXCEPT through me."
John
14:6
For the Son of God to pay such a terrible price, there must be something terrible to avoid.
