Well isn't that special? I wouldn't post an article that attacks YHWH's word, and leads people from their faith.
(CLV) Ro 2:25
For circumcision, indeed, is benefiting if you should be putting law into practice, yet if you should be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Romans 2 expanded for context, with just a little commentary...
14 For whenever they of the nations that have no law,
by nature may be doing that which the law demands, these, having no law, are a law to themselves,
[functioning conscience].
15 who are displaying
the action of the law written in their hearts,
their conscience testifying together and their reckonings between one another, accusing or defending them,
16 in the day when
God will be judging the hidden things of humanity, according to my evangel, through Jesus Christ."
[Hours spent studying letters will not be a covering at The Judgment].
17 Lo!
you are being denominated a Jew, and are resting on law,
and are boasting in God,
[not Israel].
18 and
know the will, and are testing what things are of consequence, being
instructed out of the law. [as opposed to the Spirit]
19 Besides,
you have confidence in yourself to be a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
[Those who have become experts show a marked self-confidence, not a boldness].
20 a discipliner of the imprudent, a teacher of minors,
having the form of knowledge and the truth in the law.
[a knowledge about Truth is not the Spirit of Truth, it is the spirit of wanting to be right. Reliance on the Counselor is not reliance on knowledge of Torah].
21 You, then, who are teaching another, you are not teaching yourself!
who are heralding not to be stealing, you are stealing! [teaching Law instead of liberty of conscience is stealing].
22 who are saying not to be committing adultery, you are committing adultery! who are abominating idols, you are despoiling the sanctuary!"
Romans 7:4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become
dead to the law by the body of Christ; that
ye should be married to another,
even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
[Commitment to Torah study instead of Faithfulness to the Spirit is adultery].
23 who are boasting in a law,
through the transgression of the law you are dishonoring God!
24 For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the nations, according as it is written.
25 For circumcision, indeed, is benefiting if you should be
putting law into practice, yet if you should be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision."
[How is arguing about the Law for hours a day on a forum putting law into practice? Free your slaves!]
26 If the Uncircumcision, then, should be
maintaining the just requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
[work of conscience by the Holy Spirit= True circumcision].
27 And the Uncircumcision who, by nature, are discharging the law's demands,
shall be judging you, who through letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of law." Seriously?
28 For
not that which is apparent is the Jew, nor yet that which is apparent in flesh is circumcision;"
29 but
that which is hidden is the Jew, and
circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose applause is not of men, but of God."
Psalm 83:3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
and consulted against
thy hidden ones.
