Objection: God Called Deuteronomy 28:15-68 CURSES in the Plural, So Galatians 3:13, Which Says That Christ Redeemed Us from THE Curse, Can’t Refer to Those
This objection splits hairs more finely than the Bible itself does. Paul says in Galatians 3:10 that those who are under the works of the Law are under “the” curse because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all the things in the book of the Law to do them.” That quotes the last verse of Deuteronomy 27 (Deuteronomy 27:26) – the verse right before the list of blessings and curses in Deuteronomy 28. So Paul makes it clear that failure to keep the Law brings “the curse,” which is the collection of individual curses in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Three verses later he declares that Christ HAS redeemed us from “the” curse of the Law – the curse for not continuing in all the things in the book of the Law to do them that Paul had just mentioned. Once you read Galatians 3:13 in the context of Galatians 3:10, this is a very clear statement; it is not a contradiction at all.
