This is the Baymah podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today we examine the first chapter of Paul's Letter to the Galatians listening to Paul

describe a gospel he received straight from Jesus, not from any human teaching.

Yeah. We are going to start a verse by verse journey. It's not as impressive

as the gospel Matthew, but every verse, Paul's gospel though. Yeah. As we've

talked about. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Excellent.

So we're going to go verse by verse through Galatians, become one of my favorite,

favorite books. Speaking of books, let me give you a recommendation just for the whole book of

Galatians. One source I have really enjoyed up to it's I think it's last three chapters,

three or four chapters. I always got a class for this. Yeah. I remember you mentioning this when

we first went through Galatians, but it doesn't matter because the whole rest of the book and there's

like 18 chapters. So like most of the book is super great. Thomas Lancaster is a Messianic Jewish

scholar and he wrote a book titled The Holy Epistle to the Galatians. We're going to link that

in the show notes. He uses fantastic scholarship, new perspective on Paul and that's somewhat unique

for a Messianic scholar. And I know we have a lot of Messianic listeners to our podcast. So I want

to be very, very gentle with this. I don't typically align with Messianic Judaism. I know a lot of

people describe me as a Messianic Jew. And in concept, of course, I'm a Jew that believes in Jesus,

follows Jesus, absolutely. In that case, I am. But the theology of Messianic Judaism very rarely

aligns with the theology and the hermetic that I'm going to use. I have yet to find a body of Messianic

believers that doesn't get rid of me at some point, usually early in the relationship. And a lot

of that is because I follow a more orthodox Jewish perspective of reading the scriptures.

And I cling to a new perspective on Pauline theology, which I feel like the Messianic community
