Paul's Autobiography"

  "Paul's Autobiography  Galtians was written AD 48, in Central Turkey.  The structure of Galatians is that Paul is giving a apologia, or a defense of correctiveness of the gospel as he first preached it to the Galattians." It's possible the outline of the letter closely follows the structure of a letter given with authority, not personal like Paul's prior letters. p. 174 Blomberg. The main theme of Galatians is justification, meaning the act of which sinners must get right in their relationship with God, not by keeping the law, but on the basis of God's grace, a grace that is supplied in Jesus alone, for those who trust in Jesus for their salvation. Jesus can only save us, not human effort anything else will result in spiritual death." McClendon p. 171-172.  17-Paul didn't go up to Jersualem to get to know Cephas, I stayed with him for 15 days. 19- I didn't see any other followers except James, The Lord's brother. 20- I declare that I am not ...
