I think when the Jews (Paul here in Galatians) talk about the law, they rarely if ever refer to one ordinance (circumcision here). Almost always they talk about the Torah which is the whole law.

I would have to side with Crib here. Paul said in the same context that law was a schoolmaster that bring us to Christ and it was added after transgression. Invariably the bible is talking about the whole law. And Ellen White confirmed it on this specific controversy in 1888 that it is both the ceremonial and the moral law of the 10 commandments.

Hey, this is what I said too...

Jesus is the Passover of the new covenant but there is no law of circumcision to follow to partake of the Jesus. Under the new covenant we become God's covanent people through faith in Jesus. In the new covenant neither circumcision or uncircumcision means anything but keeping the Ten Commandments does.

1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Dominoes,,,,,,,,,,Caught you red handed, using "keywords" without reading the context. You're fully convinced that Paul is talking about the Ten Commandments.

If you would read from 1Cr 7:1 you'd see which commandments that Paul was explaining to keep as coming from God and those which were his own opinion.

here some texts from the chapter.
1Cr 7:1¶Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Cr 7:2Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1Cr 7:6But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.

1Cr 7:17¶But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
1Cr 7:18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

1Cr 7:25¶Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

Notice how the context explains which commandments that Paul was addressing to the Corinthians?

When you begin to eat the word of God for yourself you'll know truth when you hear it.

When you see how text are isolated for keyword content once, you'll see it again.
