I does really come down to a "heart" issue. I can profess to love Messiah all day long, but if it is in words only, where is love? If you love Him, keep His commandments. That's in the Bible too. What more needs be said?
Romans 2
[SUP]25 [/SUP]For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
[SUP]28 [/SUP]For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
[SUP]29 [/SUP]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.
In case you don't like the KJV, since you didn't seem phased by Galatians 5
[SUP]25 [/SUP]For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice [SUP][
v][/SUP]the Law; but if you are a transgressor [SUP][
w][/SUP]of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. [SUP]26 [/SUP]So if the [SUP][
x][/SUP]uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? [SUP]27 [/SUP]And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who [SUP][
y][/SUP]though having the letter
of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor [SUP][
z][/SUP]of the Law? [SUP]28 [/SUP]For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. [SUP]29 [/SUP]But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
