For our aim is not to obey the Law but to be pleasing to Him
I present a conundrum by invoking the above statement. If one does not obey this following law they cannot please God. If one is pleasing God they are obeying this Torah/law. Both Old and New Testaments concur one with another without separation. It is impossible to separate this spiritual truth.
"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your
heart, and be no more stiffnecked." Deuteronomy 10:6
Circumcision was the confirmation of the covenant with Abraham and his seed.
"This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be
circumcised." Genesis 17:10
"Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by
hands;" Ephesians 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:" Colossians 2:11
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye
Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:29
Circumcising the foreskin of the heart is New Testamant doctrine and also first endorsed by the Torah give to Moses. How Ironic.
