Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
Galatians 1:9 stresses rejection of any different gospel, but 1 John 4:8 focuses on God's nature as love, which could suggest a more open interpretation of the gospel.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Romans 14:1
Galatians 1:9 demands that any other gospel be rejected, whereas Romans 14:1 advocates for accepting those with weak faith, which might include diverse understandings.

Galatians 1:9 commands exclusion of differing gospels, while Matthew 7:1 advises against judgment, promoting tolerance of various beliefs.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Philippians 1:18
Galatians 1:9 implies rejection of gospel variation, whereas Philippians 1:18 shows Paul rejoicing in Christ being preached regardless of the manner, suggesting flexibility.

Paradox #1
Galatians 1:9 could be seen as contradictory if someone interprets it to mean that only one interpretation of the gospel is correct. This could conflict with the idea of religious tolerance and the acceptance of various interpretations. It may create tension between upholding one's beliefs and being open to others' spiritual paths.
