Do we have to now be circumcised, or do we have One who was circumcised for us?
Act 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that
certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Paul said we are to judge nobody in sabbath days. He also said sabbath days were but a shadow of Christ. Those in the New Covenant are to worship Christ every day of the week. We are to rest in Him.
Col 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of
the sabbath days:
Col 2:17
Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body is of Christ.
Has there been a change in the law in the verse below, or has it been "magnified"?
Heb 7:12 For

We are not come to Mount Sinai in the passage below, but are come instead to the New Covenant of Mount Sion.
Heb 12:18
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, (Mount Sinai)
Heb 12:22
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
The books of Galatians, and Hebrews were written to address the battle between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. That battle has now raged for almost 2,000 years, and during most of that time the Judaisers have won the day.
(Bob George explains the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and found fulfilled in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18.)
