Galatians 2:
Paul went to Jerusalem with
Barnabas and Titus in response to a revelation and to present the gospel he was
preaching to the Gentiles. Some false prophets demanded the law of
circumcision for the Gentiles as well, but we held on to the doctrine of faith
to be saved rather than Jewish law for the Gentiles. Even Titus, a Greek,
was not circumcised to be saved in Jesus Christ. Judeo-Christian
doctrine and union is false to saved people in Christ because faith in Jesus
Christ is solely by faith in the resurrection of the dead and not by Jewish law.
James (brother of Jesus Christ), Peter, and John accepted the grace of God in
Paul and his task by God to minister to the Gentiles as Peter ministered to the
Jews. They demanded that Paul remembers the poor (fatherless, widows,
immigrants, & elderly). Paul opposed Peter because he began to draw away
from the Gentiles when Jews from James came from Jerusalem. Paul told
Peter that it was wrong to force Jewish customs and laws on Gentiles because we
are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and not by Jewish laws.
Galatians 3:
You are saved by the
Spirit of God through what you hear and believe, and not by following the law
through human effort. Abraham is credited to be faithful by God
because he believed. He is considered the man of faith and the father of
all nations to be blessed because the nations believed and not because they
followed some Jewish laws of Moses. It is faith in God through Jesus
that saves and not thorough any human law. The Jewish law is a curse, but the
righteous is justified by faith. Jesus became a curse by being hung on
a tree (cross) to free us from the yoke of the Jewish law. The Jewish
law was given by God to organize the Jews from which the Messiah (Christ) would
come ONLY, but now that the Christ has come, the righteous are merely justified
by faith through God's Spirit, NEVER the law. The Jewish law was established
430 years after Abraham, but God's promise was to Abraham and his SEED (Christ),
not seeds. God's grace gave Abraham a promise based on faith and not
inheritance of the law. So the Jews are children of Moses' laws and NOT
God's people or children based on the promise and covenant of faith through
Abraham.

Galatians 4:
A child, who is heir, is like
a slave under his father's authority until an appointed time to own the whole
estate. At the right time, God sent the Christ to be born and die under
the law in order to resurrect and redeem us from the shackles of the meaningless
laws that do not save. Those who believe in the Christ by faith become
children of God through the Spirit and are now heir of God. We do not have
to be a Jew or convert to Judaism to be God's children. It is a FREE gift to all
who believe by faith like Abraham (Father of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism).
It is always good to be zealous, but for the right and godly reasons.
Hagar, mother of Ishmael, represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to
slavery of Jerusalem, but Sarah, mother of Isaac- the promise, represents the
free Jerusalem from above as prophesized by prophet Isaiah. The slave
woman and her child were pushed aside from the promise and inheritance of God.
The faithful in Christ, which is the promised SEED of God, are the promise and
inheritance of God.
