Was the Apostle Paul “Mean†to False Teachers?
March 30, 2008 by John
 Let me see I have been accused of being “mean spirited”, “attacking”, a “Phariblogger (by Rick Warren), Someone who needs to take a vacation (Richard Abanes) etc etc etc
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
–Galatians 1:6-9

If you would like to do an interesting word study look up accursed (anathema) and see how this word is used. Hint it is used only one time outside of Paul’s epistles and that was in Acts 23:14. In that verse it is Paul’s enemies that placed themselves in a curse until they had killed Paul. This gives some seriousness about the use of this word. Guess what when you preach the word of God in truth you reap enemies, both those who claim to be Christian and those who don’t. If they claim to be believers and then make critical judgment of believers it makes me wonder if they really are believers.
