"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, 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 given 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 counterfeit 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.
