“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9

Received from the Church. Paul is correct. Paul did not mean received from any tent preacher or self described prophet. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; not some mallfront entity run by a 'bishop' with a mail order accreditation.

Could you find scripture that says where it needs to come from if it’s the gospel of Jesus Christ? And would you please find for me where in that verse or any other verse it includes the phrase “Received from the Church”.

>>The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church<<

Again, would you please find the reference in scripture where that phrase or anything like it is or where it tells you that the gospel must come through an organization rather then from any believer.?

That is not correct, Mark. If you will read a little further down in Galatians, Paul says in Chapter 1, verses 11 and 12:

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel that was preached of me is NOT AFTER MAN. For I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, but BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST."

He did NOT receive the gospel he preached by 'the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Period. He received it directly from the revelation of Jesus Christ. Period.

If you read a little further down, verses 15-24 that he conferred NOT with flesh and blood about the gospel he preached. He did not go to Jerusalem to consult the apostles before him, but to Arabia and Damascus. And he certainly did not receive it of Peter in ROme. Since Peter was still in Jerusalem, that would have been impossible.
