Mercy Messianic Judaism
The law does not say "a male child must be circumcised in the heart prior to becoming circumcised in the flesh" but the law does say "a male child must be circumcised on the 8th day". Torah teaches us that the law of circumcision comes from the father. Abraham believed YHWH and it was counted to him as righteousness; Abraham was circumcised in his heart. Abraham received the seal of righteousness, he circumcised himself as well as every male in his household. Abraham even circumcised Isaac on the 8th day. We know that it was in Isaac that the descendents of Abraham would be counted. I do not seek to give you a new law, but I seek to renew an old law into your heart "AbbaLove", every male child must be circumcised on the 8th day (Genesis 17:12) if you wish to become perfect (Genesis 17:1).As a followup to my 2 questions to both vis and ralliann would you agree that Messianic Judaism (Distinction Covenant) firmly believes that HaShem's Word (Tanakh) specifically states that a non-Jewish gentile cannot enter GOD'S Sanctuary unless circumcised of heart and flesh (in that order) ...
Deuteronomy 10:16; Leviticus 26:41; Jeremiah 4:4; Jeremiah 6:10; Jeremiah 9:26; Ezekiel 44:7–9
Lulav has possibly been the most vocal/adamant supporter of thee 'Root' of Messianic Judaism. In other words unlike most evangelicals, Messianic Judaism does not discard the OT, but embraces it as bedrock supporting what Christendome refers to as the NT. Thus, as example, Lulav and other [orthodox] MJ's firmly believe today's non-Jewish talmidim (disciples) of Moshiach Yeshua (Christ Jesus) be circumcised of both heart and flesh according to the Word (Law) of HaShem. An example being that it be mandatory for non-Jewish talmidim participating in a Pesach Haggadah be circumcised of flesh. MJ members would not dispute that Lulav's beliefs represent the law of HaShem that is still mandatory today by His talmidim. Thus, the reestablishment of Messianic Judaism (long overdue) as representative of true 1st Century Christianity.
Therefore, Lulav and other Messianic Jews would contend that true Messianic Judaism is a Distinction Covenant first established in the Tanach not a "Distinction Theology" that only became available to both Jew and Gentile at Shavuot after the resurrection of Moshiach Yeshua.
If i am in any way misrepresenting Lulav's belief or that of [orthodox] Messianic Judaism i sincerely apologize.
