Umm, i know I am not supposed to post in here, but I been wondering something for a while. Since the Messiah's coming is there a need for circumcision?
Circumcision of your foreskin is a token of the circumcision of your heart. If you just do the token then you have missed the point.kyzar said:visionary, circumcision of your ... a physcial circumcision...
JSynon said:Is it possible for one to become physically uncircumcised?
Zayit said:NO, it is not, thus the point. If you are Jewish and for some reason you weren't circumcised, then you should be to be in the covenant of your fathers; now for beliefs sake, NO.
But,, it was an everlasting ordinance. Remember Moses? He was almost slain by G-d because he didn't do it to his two boys.
What Paul is speaking of is that if you are a gentile, there is no need to get circumcised; your faith is enough to graft you in.
But you also must remember that circumcision was not a part of the law given at Sinai, it came before way before, with Father Abraham. It was a sign and also it was a covenant that way 'cut' in the flesh, blood was shed . Yeshua shed that blood for the covenant you are now in, so just accepting that blood, you are in; you do not have to shed your own blood.
Yeshua was Jewish, it was the law for Jewish men, Not Christian men. This was for a physical descendant of Abraham only. I don't think it should be usurped by Gentile men. And I think I understand the Torah alot more than most Christians Michael, please don't insult me like that again.mjterry87 said:Your starting to sound like a Christian talking about the Torah! LOL
Why not get it done? Yeshua did, why not be like him?
Did I get caught in the crossfire? I thought you were talking to MJterry? If not, I would humbly like to ask in what manner I insulted you?Zayit said:And I think I understand the Torah alot more than most Christians Michael, please don't insult me like that again.
