Circumcision
“Since, we are Abraham's Seed
and heirs according to the promise, it is our belief the male
circumcision is the sign of the Abrahamic Convenant. Yet, it
can not save us if we are disobedient to YAHWEH's laws. It is
written, in order to be included in the Abrahamic Convenant
this is necessary. Please read John 8:32-40. It is also
written, if you be Abraham's Seed you will do the works of
Abraham. In other words, no matter what the requirements.”
One of the things we
thouroughly explain in our book of restoration:
The Good News,
as it Was in the Days of the Apostles, is the
concept of Biblical Duality. It is one of the keys for
exegetical understanding to some very fundamental principles
of the Scriptures, especially in the area of prophecy. Without
it Bible students are lost on a variety on important subjects.
It is like the one central gold thread that keeps the whole
web together. Praised be Elohim for that enlightment does come
from men, but from the Father who called us to the truth.
Please, suffer me to be very brief, but
precise and clear. You shall find more details in the second
edition of the
Covenant Keeper's Handbook.
The sign of the physical circumcision of
the forthskin was given within the context of the physical
dimension of the Law, in relationship to a physical people in
a physical wilderness. Under the physical dimension of the
Law, the physical assembly of Yisrael carried physical works
of the Law, which could not lead to perfection. The works of
the Law worked as a school master, Gal.3: 24, with earthly
bound rites as a forerunner to something better, Heb.10: 1,
which is and was coming from heaven. By faith Abraham was
justified while yet uncircumcised. Faith has come, believers
are justified by that same faith without performing any
physical works of the Law.
The father was really looking at something
celestial and everlasting. That’s the spiritual dimension of
the Law. As there was a requirement for a physical
circumcision of the forthskin of the male, made after earthly
Adam, there would be a spiritual circumcision of the forthskin
of the heart of the man now called after the image of Yahshua,
from heaven above, and renewed by the Spirit.
If physical circumcision was still to be
that one 'sine quanon' condition that introduces
us into the Abrahamic Covenant, even after the death of the
Testator, then the Testator came and died in vain.
Fortunately, the truth is the very opposite.
