Bible Note: Brother Mark, While I agree with your conclusions, I am uncomfortable with arguments that are based on changes in the audience of a book of scripture unless the author explicitly states that that is what he is doing. For example, 1 Peter 3, Peter addresses various people: e.g., wives (v1), husbands (v7), everyone (v8), and later in the epistle the elders (5:1). I do not find such changes of address by Paul in Galatians. Of course, maybe I've missed it somewhere. Just my two, very humble, cents. Sorry if this is off topic, but it does seem to be an important point of exegesis. In Him, Doc |
