Holiness Is Still a Requirement of Inclusion
God is yet extending His roses to the world and the bonds (chains) of religion is being broken!
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the prepuce, or foreskin, of a male. The word circumcise literally means “to cut around.” It was a sign of covenant between God and his people!
Now, how do you think you can bypass making a covenant with God without being circumcised! But just what is considered circumcision?
Joshua was called to circumcise the Children of those whose parents disobeyed God Who died in the wilderness.
God did not just allow them to come in his presence any old kind a way, but they had to have a covenant relationship with him or else they couldn’t enter in the camp!
My Lord, because if they did not complete this right of passage they were considered broken and unwholesome! (Joshua 5: 6-8).
There is a thin line between religiousness and unrighteousness, but one thing about the Apostles, they believe in walking on the cutting edge! Now, does that mean being in violation to the word of God? Of course not!
Help us Holy Ghost! So many folks are dependent upon the outward signs of the heart when it comes to circumcision! And instead of walking by faith and the grace of God they are looking for an outward sign of salvation.
The right to passage which leads to pride and arrogance because of works. But, God knew this would not be enough for spiritual inclusion and this is why he sent Christ to make atonement for our sins!
Yes, you can go ahead and keep your religious passages but it will not make you any better than the person who does not keep them!
In fact their arose a great dissension among the people (a certain sect of the Pharisees) in regards to this very thing but Peter rose up and rebuked the people!
And, some believed that it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles (cutting edge; cutting around) and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, (confronted/ boldness) and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles (Meaning it was not just to the Jews) by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
And God, which knoweth the hearts, (not just the outward signs of circumcision) bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; {And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith}.
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that {through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ} we shall be saved, even as they, (Acts 15:5-11 KJV)
Come on somebody! Whenever you think you got it and no one else has a revelation or the wisdom of God you walk in a spirit of self deception!
Paul wanted Timothy to come along with him as a missionary helper to be circumcised in order to win and to persuade the Jews but it was not because he believed circumcision was the way to salvation!
Timothy was half-Jewish, and Paul circumcised him so that he would not be a hindrance as they sought to reach out to unsaved Jews.
Come on somebody, the LORD is saying that in order for the church to win souls you must be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove! (Matthew 10:16).
Although the Bible did not require Timothy to be circumcised, it was something he did willingly for the sake of reaching the Jews.
Jesus referenced the religious sect by saying, “What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?” (Matthew 12:11).
Help us Holy Ghost! I believe that God is showing the church that all things are lawful but not all things are expedient but if it can cause a sister or brother to come to Christ and it will not cause you to walk in sin; or in violation to God’s word why not use that to pull a sinner out of bondage; instead of placing them back in again!
Loose the noose upon the necks of the people!
