What problem does Paul address among the Galatian churches in Galatians 1:6?
Paul addresses the Galatians' swift removal from the One who called them into the grace of Christ to another gospel. False teachers troubled them by perverting the pure gospel he preached, twisting it out of shape through additions or subtractions, making it a different gospel, though not a completely different one.
Les explains that Paul is dealing with a problem even among the Galatian churches, just as Corinth had problems. In Galatians 1:6, Paul marvels that they are so soon removed from Him who called them into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another. Les points out this means it is not something completely different, because then it would be immediately recognized as false. Rather, false teachers were troubling them and perverting the gospel, twisting it out of shape. They were basically using the same things Paul preached but adding to it or taking from it, so it became another gospel. Paul then gives strong warning: even if an angel from heaven preached any other gospel, let him be accursed, which is to be separated from God forever.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

What did Paul mean when he said the Galatians were removed unto another gospel?
The 'another gospel' Paul mentions is not really a totally different gospel; it is the same gospel he had used in establishing the Galatians, but now it was being perverted, polluted, and corrupted.
Why did Paul say the Galatians' other gospel was not another gospel?
The 'other gospel' the Galatians were turning to was not actually another gospel; it was a perversion that came from people troubling them.
