Just curious...
I'm surprised you don't know what that is, they have a separate forum here to post in Messianic Jew is was MJ stands for. You can go there in their forum and read about their idea of the Law and how they keep it.

Messianic Judaism A forum for Messianic Jews and Gentiles

Messianic Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Messianic Judaism is a syncretic[1] religious movement that arose in the 1960s and 70s.[9] It blends evangelical Christian theology with elements of religious Jewish practice and terminology.[14]
Messianic Judaism generally holds that Jesus is both the Jewish Messiah and "God the Son" (one person of the Trinity),[18] though some within the movement do not hold to Trinitarian beliefs.[19]

With few exceptions, both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are believed to be authoritative and divinely inspired scripture............

Great point.

The Royal law is the moral law and is not a ceremonial law as it is not handwritten of man but by the finger of God in stone.

Remember, don't forget, the first 4 are given to God first of Himself revealing for one thing His right as the Great Sovereign one. Ex 20:11

The moral, ethical is revealed to God by the first 4 parts, REVERANCE, of it and the last 6 the moral and ethical to our fellow man.

Ex 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Ex 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Ex 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Ex 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Ex 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Ex 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Ex 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Ex 20:12 ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Ex 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

Ex 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Ex 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.

Ex 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Ex 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

I just saw someone hand you your argument on a silver platter as dead meat, and you simply can't be bothered defending the dead argument. Repeating error isn't going to give it life.

The handwritten ordinances was not the Royal law as it was written of God's own finger in stone.

The handwritten ones were the ones that Moses copied out about the laws and ordinances of sacrifices that pointe to Christ the True Lamb of God.

Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 ¶ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ offering his body is still a sacrifice or offering for sin.

Christ offering his body is still a sacrifice or offering for sin.

That is true and at repentance and being reborn of His Spirit all repented of sin is forgiven and He tells us, "go sin no more."

If we do then sin again we must quickly truly repent again and be forgiven,

1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

We are not to continue in sin as He in you is His power to overcome it and we have no excuse to continue.

I note that many are thinking that the new covenant took away the moral or royal law of the 10 commandments and that would be impossible. It is the law of love and given to us as a guide to do the love to Him and then to our fellow man as is His due from us and then our due to our fellow man from us.

It is as eternal as He is eternal as He is the Proven Epitome of Love and so requires we also be filled by beholding Him and His Great sacrifice and price He has paid to redeem us from the curse of the law which is death.

The test of our love is, do we do the 10 statutes of love? That is all it takes to fulfill them as it is but the service of the heart of love.

Jesus hated sin and so we must come to do and He loved righteousness and so we must come to do and we know it is easy to do the thing we love but hard to do the thing we hate!

We really should come to the place with Him as He stated, "the evil one hath nothing in me."

So I ask all, is not the keeping of the Holy Day of our Almighty God an utmost statue He desires us to keep? Why? Because it is His due as the Creator and righteous and just God of Love! Happily it should be of us to render those first four to Him!

I must testify it is my desire and pleasure to do so. I love Him first and best and above all!

Well, I do believe that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, and that He is God the Son.
I also believe that He is the promise given to Abraham...that through Him all the nations of the world have been blessed.
I also believe that the entire Word of God, both Old and New Testaments...and maybe some other scriptures that got left out of our canon...are divinely inspired scripture.

But I don't think I'd fit in with "MJs"...

Did anyone here know the reason God said to circumcise on the eighth day?

Circumcision may not be a requirement any longer, but it is still cleaner and healthier...and a circumcised man definitely smells better. I am not sorry that my sons were circumcised, although I didn't request it for religious reasons, but because the doctor recommended it.

Oh, and btw, those ancient people wouldn't have known it...but I read somewhere that it isn't until the eighth day that the new babies blood will coagulate as it should.
Interesting stuff, huh?

What about the law of cirucmcision on the 8th day that is performed during the Sabbath?

That was of the ceremonial laws and Jesus was also on the eighth day.

Le 12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Le 12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
Le 12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
Le 12:6 ¶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
Le 12:7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
Le 12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

What does Pharisee Shaul mean by what he says? Did he say "Circumcision on the 8th day" will profit you nothing? You know there is a difference between "circumcision" and "circumcision on the 8th day". Pharisee Shaul makes it his business to let you know that he has been circumcised according the custom of Moses. The religious leaders also claimed that you had to become circumcised "according to the law" in order to be saved!

Where is it written that circumcision is a ceremonial law? "Circumcision on the 8th day" existed prior to the 10 commandments. Will you seek to observe the 10 commandments but dismiss the works of Abraham "circumcision on the 8th day"?

John 8
39 They answered him, “Our father is Avraham.” Yeshua replied, “If you are children of Avraham, then do the things Avraham did!

It is strange that you have chosen to zone in on the actual act of circumcision since Pauls point had nothing to do with babies but with becoming a jewish proselyte. With the intention that though the law was life...Jews who had not accepted Yeshua still looked heard and understood Moses through a veil...and since Jesus had taken that veil away if you left him behind and went to the Jews to teach you Gods word(the law) then the fulfilling of that law in Christ was not available....
As to the idea that God did away with part of his word...fulfill does not mean take away...but we must see it without the veil and trust God to live it through us....
I am by no means a scholar but still give me a law that is done away and I am sure I can find its fulness in NT.

Many were all mixed up in those days as in these last days and here is some good council from Paul,

Pharisee Shaul was circumcised on the 8th day, born from the tribe of Benjamin. Pharisee Shaul offered sacrifices on the altar in Jerusalem.

Acts 21
20 On hearing it, they praised God; but they also said to him, “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of believers there are among the Judeans, and they are all zealots for the Torah. 21 Now what they have been told about you is that you are teaching all the Jews living among the Goyim to apostatize from Moshe, telling them not to have a b’rit-milah for their sons and not to follow the traditions.
22 “What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come. 23 So do what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow. 24 Take them with you, be purified with them, and pay the expenses connected with having their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is nothing to these rumors which they have heard about you; but that, on the contrary, you yourself stay in line and keep the Torah.


Ro 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Abraham was uncircumcised when he built the L-rd's altar.

Ro 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Ro 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Ro 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Even fleshly circumcision is done in secret, it is done on the male private. Phairsee Shaul circumcised Timothy in secret.

There is a reason for this. It is not being used to validate his Christianity. He even calls it dung meaning worthless.
