Do we need another gospel?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Oct. 22, ‘08

Paul said some in Galatia had turned to a different gospel, which was not another (of the same sort) (read Gal. 1:6-9). If people in the first century claimed to have new revelations from false apostles or angels, we should not be surprised that men since that day have made the same claims. When men turn to latter-day revelations, it is because they have lost faith in the first revelation! Men do not turn to new ways until they have lost confidence in the old. They claim to believe in Jesus, but they have something wonderful to add to what Jesus revealed. When you add to it, or deny any part of it, you have "perverted the gospel of Christ," and Paul "if anyone preaches any other gospel than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed."
