The original (Greek) word for "accursed" is "anathema" which means: something pledged (given up) to destruction; a divine curse/ban; an "oath-curse.". (Strongs 331)
Then Paul repeats himself in 1:9 and finally, if that were not enough, in 1:10 he asks the question: "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant ("doulos" = slave) of Christ. (NASB)
Joel Osteen, and anyone who alters the Gospel of Jesus, is a slave of man; not Christ.
