What does Paul say about an angel from heaven preaching another gospel?
Paul says that even if he or an angel from heaven preaches any other gospel than the one already preached, that one must be accursed. He repeats that anyone preaching another gospel than what was received should be accursed, meaning separated from God forever.
Les explains that the "another gospel" Paul warns about is not a totally different message; it is the pure gospel being twisted out of shape, with things added to it or taken from it. Paul puts strong language on those who trouble the Galatians and pervert the gospel. He says that even if he himself, or an angel from heaven, preaches any other gospel than what he preached, that one is to be accursed. Les notes this is strong even for Scripture, and being accursed means being separated from God forever. Paul repeats in verse 9 that if any man preaches another gospel than what they received, let him be accursed.
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.
