if your answer is 'it's okay to make void God's command to literally physically circumcise males because it's the heart that matters'
then you are saying, the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled apart from the physical observance of it.

so please either quit deflecting, or apply that equally to sabbath.

ok thnx
Look Post, if you want to reject the Sabbath, and compare it to cutting skin of your private parts or killing animals for the atonement of sins, you are free to do so. But Jesus didn't say He was Lord of the foreskin, or Lord of goats blood, He said He was Lord of the Sabbath.

Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the sabbath. Now if a boy can be circumcised on the sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the sabbath? Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.
(John 7:21-24)

Genesis 17, Exodus 4, Leviticus 12, Ezekiel 44, Acts 15, 1 Corinthians 7, Galatians 5.

how can this be?

ok.

so Genesis 17, Exodus 4, Leviticus 12, Ezekiel 44..
Acts 15, 1 Corinthians 7, Galatians 5..


is the righteousness of the commandments accomplished in some case without physical observation of it?
It would be pretty hard to Love your Neighbor while fooling around with his wife and stealing his money. Jesus did physically shed His Blood for my sin as the commandment instructed.

It would be kind of hard to "Remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy" on the back nine.

But you do what you please.

What if Jesus died on Wednesday, Thursday was the first day of unleavened bread. a high sabbath, that's why Joseph asked Pilot to take the Body down before sunset. Jesus was put in the tomb just like the bread was put in the oven. (This is my body which was broken for you). So Friday between the two sabbaths the women purchased spices to anoint Jesus body . then Saturday was the weekly sabbath. Mary went to the tomb and he was already gone. interesting how she thought she saw a gardener. ie..(Adam was told to keep the garden) any way that gives us
Wed night
thurs day
thurs night
fri day
Fri night
sat day
and he raises after sunset.
This is what i believe the scriptures support.. Thursday was the first day of unleavened bread which is a Sabbath where no costomary work is to be done..

The scriptures below show that both the weekly sabbath and the first day of unleavened bread are Holy convications where no work is to be done..

Leviticus 23:
3 "Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. {4} ¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. {5} In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S passover. {6} And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. {7} In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."

So at sundown wednesday the passover ended and the next day was the first day of unleavened bread a high sabbath.. Jesus was executed on the day of passover and quickly placed in the tomb at sundown wendesday so he would be buried on the Sabbath day..

physical circumcision; no more physical circumcision


what does this mean? how can this be?
1 Cor. 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised.

How can this be, what does this mean? How can a circumcised man be physically "Uncircumcised"?

1 Cor. 10:6 Now these things(Old Testament Writings) were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Duet.10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

John 1:1,2
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.

John 1:18
No one has ever seen Elohim. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare.

So who did Abraham, Moses and Jacob see?

John 8:58
58 Yeshua(Jesus) said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Aḇraham came to be, I am.”
He was the one that was before Abraham

John 15:10,15
10 "If you guard My commands, you shall stay in My love, even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and stay in His love.
15 “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all teachingswhich I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

John 15:22
“If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Isn't it possible Yeshua(Jesus) Is the one who gave the commands on Mt. Sinai.
Yeshua literally means Yahavah saves

So when He says " obey MY commands" we want to look for the words in red.
How many commands do you find in red to justifying all, if it was only 2 wouldn't he say my 2 commands?

Revelation 14:12
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 21:12
and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl:

This is the Kingdom. Do you see a gate for the gentiles? NO..


I just don't understand how someone can say" I am a gentile, Gods Laws do not apply to me" and still expect to get into Gods Kingdom.

Sounds a lot like rebellion.

Ezekiel 12:1,2
1 And the word of יהוה came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but they have not seen, they have ears to hear but they have not heard, for they are a rebellious house.

How can this be, what does this mean? How can a circumcised man be physically "Uncircumcised"?

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Duet.10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

So basically you have no answer to what I'm bringing up?

Because you keep talking but none of it has to do with the question.

That's ok if you just don't know. I think you shouldn't pretend you do in that case.

Isaiah 60:16-22
16 “And you shall drink dry the milk of the gentiles, and shall milk the breast of sovereigns. And you shall know that I, יהוה, your Saviour and your Redeemer, am the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ.

17 “Instead of bronze I bring gold, and instead of iron I bring silver, and bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. And I shall make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness.

18 “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor ruin within your borders. And you shall call your walls Deliverance, and your gates Praise.

19 “No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness.

20 “No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

21 “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.

22 “The little shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, יהוה, shall hasten it in its time.”

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

13 Even if only a tenth of the people remain in the land, it will again be destroyed, like one of the large sacred trees or an Asherah pole, when a sacred pillar on a high place is thrown down. That sacred pillar symbolizes the special chosen family.”

Isaiah 58:13,14
13 “If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My set-apart day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the set-apart day of YHVH ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

14 then you shall delight yourself in YHVH. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Ya‛aqoḇ your father. For the mouth of YHVH has spoken!”

Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
