Bible Note: Greetings Kwigger! Concerning circumcision, you wrote: "The circumcision covenant was given prior to the birth of Levi's GRANDFATHER, so it is assuredly not a Levitical law. It is still to be done." Yet, Paul said: Gal. 5:1 - "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." Then, in v. 11, Paul adamently denies that he is still preaching circumcision. These would be pretty harsh words for something which you say should still be done! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
