Need For Circumcision

[Shimshon]

MJTerry, IS the Michael I was speaking too, thus why I quoted his post, MJ stands for Michael James; not Messianic Jew or Judaism.

Oh good, Yes I did assume MJ stood for messianic judaism. Thanks for the clarification.

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.

ITA.

thank you GodsCHosenGirl, i missed that one of zayits posts... This is i guess how I feel, that circumcision was for the Jew, given in His covenant with Abraham, and as such is not given to the gentiles etc. Is this right? If so, I feel that instead of a physcial circumcision (with hands) there is a spiritual circumcision (by the Holy Spirit)...

Any ideas?

Yes, the circumcision of the heart, cutting out our will and replacing it with the Holy Spirit's, this is one that is unisex, whereas the Abrahamic one was stricktly for men only.

That would make a great topic to discuss as well.
