  AND ALL THE BRETHREN WHICH ARE WITH ME.
  by Martin Luther

Scripture References: Galatians 1:8

------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin Luther emphasizes the importance of discerning false apostles by
highlighting Paul's defense of his ministry against those who seek to
discredit it. Paul asserts that his doctrine is divinely true and is
supported by the unity of belief among all the brethren with him, even
though they are not apostles. This unity in teaching and writing
reinforces the authenticity of Paul's message and serves as a powerful
rebuttal against the false apostles' accusations.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should go far in shutting the mouths of the false apostles. Paul's
intention is to exalt his own ministry while discrediting theirs. He
adds for good measure the argument that he does not stand alone, but
that all the brethren with him attest to the fact that his doctrine is
divinely true. "Although the brethren with me are not apostles like
myself, yet they are all of one mind with me, think, write, and teach as
I do."
