Yes, he did:
Act 16:3 Sha’ul wished to have this one go with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Yehuḏim who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
Why would he circumcise someone if he wasn't teaching it?
it says right in there. can you read? because of the stiff-necked jews who would not have accepted timothy without circumcision. paul knew it avials nothing, but had you read any of the new testament with understanding you'd know he became as a jew to win them. it's the only exception we're told of.
It helps to read the entire Bible.
yes it does. can you rwead? read this part and see what the actual message concerning circumcision, and those who preach it is.
Galatians 5
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,[
a] and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2
Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And
I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion
does not come from Him who calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but
he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11
And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
I've read all of your posts on here, and what you say makes no sense.
no doubt.
You're accusatory, but accusing nothing. Everything you post supports the Judaic viewpoint, not your Western Christian new age ideal of God.
that's almost funny.
go back and read Galatians 5
the whole book if you can be bothered. there's a curse on your false gospel.
By what you are saying, you are calling your god a liar. You are saying he declared a covenant to be forever, then promptly changed his mind and broke his covenant. Your god is not the same as my god because when my god declares forever, he means forever, not until something better comes along. You worship some other god, the western version of the Sun-god.
well that would make you unable to understand what the bible says, and a liar. i've never said anything such thing about him changing his mind. the mosaic covenant was conditional. you just no clue why the law was brought in, even though it's clearly written for you in the new testament.
what a foolish woman you are. another one. why is it primarily foolish gentile
women involved in this false teaching?
newsflash:
the people broke the mosaic covenant.
i know my God is not your god. you've been taught to place yourself under a covenant was made obsolete and passed away. but that's your doing.
here's what my God said:
Hebrews 8
8 But God found fault with the people and said[
a]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when
I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9
It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”[

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
I understand your confusion and obvious anger.
you have me confused with someone else. i don't care if you consciously choose to deny the new covenant or not. that's your own doing. teaching it to others will not be tolerated though.
You've been lied to by people you trusted. I'm sorry you've been lied to, but it's your job to study and show yourself approved, and not just agree with the guy in the pulpit because it "feels" good.
as mentioned, please start a thread on any topic you like, you teaching your false religion and false gospel, and we will see who has believed lies. that would be you.
The Bible even predicted you would be lied to: Jer 16:19 O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.”
what a misuse of that passage. it's talking about idol-worshippers (pagans) who come to know Jesus Christ.
i'll look over your false doctrine and get back to you. in the meantime, you, like the other foolish women here who are teaching a false gospel, ought to be quiet. or not. i don't care what you personally believe, even though you're under a curse for what you preach.
