Galatians: Absurdity

  1. If you do what other people want, you’re not a good Christian. 1:10

  2. Jesus was cursed by God. 3:13

  3. "Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am." Forget Jesus. Be like Paul. 4:12

  4. "If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing."
    (You can’t be saved if you’re circumcised?) 5:2

  5. "I would they were even cut off which trouble you." Gosh, that doesn't sound very nice. But I wonder what Paul meant by "cut off". The New Revised Standard Version translates this verse as: "I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves!" 5:12

  6. "See how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand."
    Paul was proud of his large handwriting. 6:11

  7. "Many ... desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh." Seems like a strange thing to glory in. But OK. 6:12-13
