Subject: N.T. circumcision? |
Bible Note: Praise be to God, I would offer three comments on your post: 1. Don't negate or overlook the importance of the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing us into vital union with Christ Spiritually! ( 1 Cor. 12:13) 2.Possibly Col. 2:11 was the verse you're referring to? "In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but in a [spiritual] circumcision [performed by] Christ by stripping off the body of the flesh (the whole corrupt, carnal nature with its passions and lusts).[The Amplified New Testament] Maybe you are more correctly referring to the process of sanctification? As I see it, the actual "circumcising" is done by God per the above verses. 2. What about Phil.3:3? "for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh," [NASB] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
