Good discussion,
Nice to hear from you again Moon.
I would just like to bring attention to a situational factor that should
effect how anyone goes about exegeting this curse language in Galatians. The
issue being addressed to these non-Jewish addressees is not about observing
the Law, but about becoming proselytes, ie., people of the Law. Note the
ironic ridicule of 5:3 is aimed at the addressees failure to be thinking
about the result of that choice, observance of the whole Law. So the issue
to be determined in the argument of the letter is not about the
Law-observance of Israelites; that is the furthest thing from the mind of
the addressees. It must make sense of what Paul is trying to dissuade them
from: becoming Israelites.
Regards,
Mark
