Dear brothers of Galatia, we greet you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We have heard how through the ministry of Brother Paul you have been converted from the worship of dumb idols to serve the true and living God of Israel.  We are glad you have made such a good beginning, but we are afraid that there are some very important things about the gospel Paul has omitted to tell you.  We ourselves come from church at Jerusalem which is directed by the very apostles Jesus called and ordained.  Paul though is an upstart.  Why, he never even knew Jesus while he was on earth and was certainly never commissioned by him as an apostle.  True, Paul did visit Jerusalem just after he stopped persecuting us, and there he learned the ABCs of the Christian faith from the true apostles.  But the message he now preaches bears no resemblance to theirs.  I don’t imagine he even told you about circumcision!  Why, this is the very way God has made it possible for you Gentiles to become a part of the New Israel.  Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.  Circumcision is just as important as baptism–nay, more important, for it will introduce you to a higher plan of Christian living.  If you will observe this holy ordinance of the law, God will be pleased with you.  We are just now forming a new association of law-observant churches, and we would love for Galatia to represented!  We are true Christians.  Jesus, our great example, pleased the Father by fulfilling the law and so can you!”

If our church family were to receive this letter, I would throw it in the trash.
