Who said God abolished His definition of sin?
Do you believe a person must become physically circumcised and keep the law of Moses, to be saved?
JLB
God's Law defines sin. You are implying that the Law of God given to Moses was abolished. The Bible doesn't teach this.
I do not believe cutting some flesh off my penis will save me as the examples written for my admonition clearly show. The Israelite's were physically circumcised and yet this didn't keep them from falling in the wilderness.
1 Cor. 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Rom. 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Duet. 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
So God does require Circumcision, just not the Circumcision the Pharisees were promoting.
As for the Law of Moses, I have already sinned. I have already transgressed God's Commandments that I saw and knew where HIS Commandments.
So what LAWS did God give to Moses that allowed for my sins to be forgiven, and thus saved?
According to Moses I am to take an animal as a sacrifice for my sins, and take this sin offering to the Levite Priest who would take its blood, then perform sacrificial, ceremonial "DEEDS" of the Law with it, for the cleansing of my sins, thus making me a sinless person, or a "righteous" person.
But the God of the Bible promised of a time when this process will become obsolete, and that God will provide for the atonement of sins "apart" from HIS atonement laws given by Covenant to Levi.
The Pharisees were still promoting these atonement Laws for justification instead of recognizing Jesus as the Seed that should come.
Ask yourself the following question, and it becomes clear what Paul is saying.
According to the Law of Moses, when a man sins, how were this mans sins forgiven, thus saving him from the penalty of sin?
Did Moses say "If a man sins, let him Keep the Sabbath Holy, and his sin is forgiven? Did Moses say "If a man sins, let him not steal and his sins are forgiven?
No, He said as plain as day, "If a man sins he shall take a sin offering specifically to the Levite Priest who would then perform "works of a Priesthood Law" and this man's sins shall be forgiven him.
So then, for these reasons I do not believe a man is saved by cutting some flesh of his private parts, nor do I believe we are saved by sprinkling the blood of an animal on the alter as per the Law of Moses.
I believe God gave me a new and better way to receive God's Laws, and atone for my sins as promised in Jer. 31.
