Circumcision Of Today

Circumcision of Today

The circumcision required of the Hebrews prior to Christ is not the circumcision that God wants of us today.  He wants the circumcision of our hearts.  The circumcision He desires after Jesus was crucified is from both male and female and from each and everyone of His children.

Jeremiah 4:4  Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Romans 2:29  But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Colossians 2:11  In Whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ:

Health Laws

In Leviticus 11 the health laws are outlined from God.  Disobeying these laws is not a sin or a judgment against you but rather rules to keep you healthy.  God created these flesh bodies and in doing so He knows what will or will not make them sick.  The basic rule is to not eat scavengers which makes sense since God put them on this earth as natural garbage disposals, so why would we want that in our bodies?  Some believe that when Christ died He abolished these laws, but that is silly since nothing in our bodies changed at that time. {what was Nailed To The Cross}

I Timothy 4:3  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

First, don't judge anyone in marriage or in what they eat.  Second, note that the Scripture states "created to be received"...God did not create scavengers for example to be received as stipulated in Leviticus 11.  I Timothy 4 goes on to talk about all God's creation are good and they are just that....good for the purposes for which He created them (scavengers, again just for example, clean up the earth and are very necessary for their designed purposes).  It's your choice what you eat.  God's guidance is to keep you healthy both in spirit and flesh.

Nailed To The Cross

Colossians 2:14-17  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Christ's blood washes away our sins if we but repent.  His blood and body became the replacement for the blood ordinances (sacrifices) of the Old Testament.  What He nailed to the Cross when He was crucified (sacrificed) was just that, those blood ordinances and not the entire Book of the Law.  Christ Became Our Passover

All One In Christ

Galatians 3:26-29  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:  for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Christ died on the Cross for all.  He is accessible to us all regardless of heritage or gender or race.  God rent the veil of the Temple when Christ died on the Cross thereby providing us all access to Him at any time without having to go through any one (Matthew 27:51Mark 15:38).  You need only call upon Him; accept Him; read of Him....He is yours at the asking.

Saved Through Faith

Ephesians 2:8-10  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

John 3:16:  For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Amen and Amen!

Psalms 22

Psalms 22:1-31

--was written by David 1,000 years before Christ was crucified
--Jesus quoted this Psalm on the Cross
--God did not forsake Jesus (himself) as Jesus never called God "God" but Father....Jesus was quoting the words of David in saying "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
--the words quoted in verse 18 took place by those nonbelievers and at the hand of God carrying out prophecy
--the word "darling" in verse 20 is soul properly translated
--the word "unicorns" in verse 21 is wild ox properly translated
