"Look to the heavens and see; And behold the clouds— They are higher than you. If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? Your wickedness affects a man such as you, And your righteousness a son of man."
Job 35:5-8 ( NKJV )

Your own words convict you of your lost, sinful, heretical nature. Jesus takes no joy or pleasure in condemning people, and He definitely takes no joy or pleasure in seeing false prophet wolves like you wrongfully condemning His children. But I digress; carry on, yet beware of Matthew 12:36-37.

Paul was admonishing the Galatians because they wanted to be UNDER the law, not under FAITH.
What the Galatians did not seem to realize is that we through faith ESTABLISH the law and do it from the heart, not as a mental exercise.
He told the Galatians that by walking in the Spirit the deeds of the law are fulfilled because walking in the Spirit produces the things that are required in the law. He explained to them that walking in the flesh produces the things that are contrary to the law.

He was admonishing them for trying to add works to the gospel of Grace (ie faith plus works) which is why he asked if they were so foolish, having begun in the spirit, are now they trying to be perfected in the flesh (works)
Yes, But that is not why he called them foolish. He called them (those who were tryign to add works) foolish for thinking they can add anything to the grace of God and being saved in the spirit to perfect their salvation. (keep themselves saved)
