But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Ozell; - - - - But Neither Titus,........, was Compelled to be circumcised.
Titus was not compelled!
Compel -
1. To force, drive, or constrain: Duty compelled the soldiers to volunteer for the mission.
2. To necessitate or pressure by force; exact: An energy crisis compels fuel conservation. See Synonyms at force.
3. To exert a strong, irresistible force on; sway: "The land, in a certain, very real way, compels the minds of the people" (Barry Lopez).
Reread Gal. 2:3 'But neither Titus, who was with me, being a greek, was COMPELLED to
be circumcised.'
Titus was not made to get circumcised because
the apostles at Jerusalem ordered that he shouldn't. - Acts Ch. 15.
You are always asking - 'where is it written';
well there, I just showed you.

Habakkuk 3:1-2,11-13,16 (KJV)
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. [2] O Lord , I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord , revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. [11] The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. [12] Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. [13] Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. [16] When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
Why is Jesus whom you all say is the God of unconditional love invading the earth with his troops?
Surely a God of love would not come with anger and a army
He dupes to come with love as you all tells this inaccurate story

He comes with His army to deal with the murderers, the killers, the wolves.
He comes with His army to make the wrongs right.
He comes with His army to set justice upon the face of the earth.
How else will the meek inherit the earth?
Will it be by the keeping of the Mosaic Law?
How has that worked out?
And speaking of keeping the law, why did not the apostles compel Titus
to get circumcised?
-- I just want an answer to that question. - Why did the apostles NOT compel

Grace empowers us to do what the truth demands us to do.i dont think a child of God will have to worry about conndtions,if we r in him,though we r weak the zeal with in us would be to please him.
Like that old hymm which says my goal is God himself..
Last part is more convicting which says
Onething I know,i cannot say him nay;
Onething I do,i press towards my lord;
My God my glory here,from day to day,
And in the glory there my great reward.
whoever wrote that hymm must have known God on his knees

Why do you think they did not? There is a law of circumcison for all males.
Titus had to be if he wa going to go out an teach with Paul and be around the apostles.
Galatians 2:3 (KJV)
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Lets read something that will let you k ow why Titus was forced
Acts 10:28 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
So the God who loves everyone is coming back to set justice in the earth, to make wrong right and deal with the wicked, murderes and wolves. What do all these have in common? Sin
Tell me why your God of unconditional love is coming back to deal with all that you said if his love is unconditional?
It don't make sense!

Ozell,
I proved that Titus didn't get circumcised by the very word itself.
If you can't recognize that fact I can't reason anymore with you.
Because you have chosen to believe fables instead of the Word of God.

And in good conscience tell me Titus was circumcised.

so let me ask you this, what reason do you have to think god's love is conditional? If anyone should think that it's me. My life has been wave after wave of tragidy. I had no child hood because of the child abuse being drugged by my parents being extreemly underfed having to be alone and sad because i had no one to help me, then i got cancer it was horrible i now have major brain damage from both my parents and cancer i cannot drive or hold a job because i am so stupid. do i blame god? do i say he has no love? no, i do not allow these things to lead me from the truth, uless you know what real pain is- how harsh life can be you have no reason and no place to say the things you say. You may know scripture but in faith and god you know nothing. If you know scripture and you have read it you are blind because wis word shows how god is the being of love. I am sick of your lies and you thinking you know what your talking about, if you want to slap god in the face, call his son a lier and take for granted what Jesus did for you then that's your problem but quit acting like you know because you have no idea what life can be and the pain and sadness it brings. I have only been a christian for three months but i never blamed god for all that happened to me
I apolagize for my angered answerAs proverbs 15:18 says a hot tempered man stirs up dissension, But a patient man calms a quarrel. it is true i have had a painful life but i should not have used it as a reason to argue. But god shows us his love everday, just being alive is proof of his love. He is an allpowerful god, he could easily make us die anytime he wants, but allows us to live because he wants a loving relationship with us. if we cannot accept he loves us then what was the point of jesus dting on the cross?

Our Lost depraved condition or what we lack or even what we have of his Omnipotent Agape is simple and obvious it is this: that receiving His Omnipotent Agape will require us (which is a condition) to receive because we are not the source of our existance. He is the source of our existance and that in itself reqires conditions especially after we have bee separated from Him by our sins. Conditions to receive His love there is no offence or weakness in God having conditions but only because of our weakness and rebellion and sin, the remedy is receiving this is conditioned upon removal of our doubts and unbelief in Him and His Omnipotent Agape. This receiving has a great mystery this mystery is that after we receive we will not begrudge to give all that we receive of Him to Him and to others now and also in His Kingdom forever. There are many Conditions ifs and thens but the condition of our separation from Him caused by our sins does not cause God to shrink from offering to us himself and all of Himself.

It might be so far beyond us that mere reading scriputre is not and could not explain the real unmitigated Omnipotent Agape that eminates from Him, reading from even THE book can not describe all that is in the fullness of His presence. If one has been there then they may be able to witness and testify of it , we do have the testimony of one who came from heaven and did not fill all the world with books to describe it but did one simple act to show AND ACCOMPLISHED IT (on the cross)
