The Better Circumcision
There is a better circumcision than the one that Jewish boys receive at their B'rit Milah (Bris).
That circumcision is usually performed by a mohel or physician today at a little party with family and friends. That circumcision is to be done when the son is eight days old (Genesis 17:12). When that circumcision was first started it was the father who circumcised his sons (Genesis 21:4).
That circumcision is required to be part of the natural family of Abraham (Genesis 17:10). That circumcision is a sign of the covenant (Genesis 17:11). That circumcision is done in the hidden parts of the flesh (Genesis 17:13). That circumcision removes the covering of flesh (Genesis 17:14). That circumcision causes the one who receives it to become a new kind of man (Exodus 12:43-45). That circumcision makes someone to be counted as part of the natural people of Israel (Exodus 12:47-49).
There is a better circumcision that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) desires more than the circumcision of the flesh - it is circumcision of the heart (Deuteronomy 10:16).
Those who do not have this circumcision of the heart cannot keep His commandments (Leviticus 26:40-41). Those who do not have this circumcision of the heart cannot hear His Word (Jeremiah 6:10). Those who do not have this circumcision of the heart resist the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) as well (Acts 7:51). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
The circumcision of the flesh is of no value without this circumcision of the heart (Jeremiah 9:25-26). Those who are circumcised in the flesh but do not keep the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) are among those who have not been circumcised in the heart (Romans 2:25). Those who are not circumcised in the flesh but keep the righteousness of the Law of Truth are among those who have been circumcised in the heart (Romans 2:26). Those who are circumcised in the flesh only will be judged by those who are circumcised in the heart only for breaking the Law of Truth (Romans 2:27). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Anyone who does not have this circumcision of the heart pollutes the Temple if they enter it (Ezekiel 44:6-8). This is true even about those who are circumcised in the flesh (Ezekiel 44:9). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Whoever has this circumcision of the heart will not suffer under His judgment for breaking His commandments (Jeremiah 4:4). It does not matter if the flesh is circumcised unless His commandments are kept (1 Corinthians 7:19). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Of all the cuts that people can make in their flesh that circumcision is A Cut Above The Rest. Still that circumcision is a covenant in the flesh about who gets to live in a certain part of the Earth - The Promised Land (Genesis 17:8-13). So that circumcision is both fleshly and worldly since it concerns the flesh and this present world. This circumcision of the heart is spiritual since it concerns the spirit and the world to come (Romans 2:28-29). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
The Father of Truth performs this circumcision of the heart (Deuteronomy 30:6). That circumcision of the flesh is performed by men (Ephesians 2:11). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Circumcision of the flesh is to be performed on those who are too young to have any say in the matter (Leviticus 12:3). Circumcision of the heart restores those who accept that they have brought disaster upon themselves because they did not have a circumcised heart (Leviticus 26:40-42). Circumcision of the heart comes upon those who choose to be part of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) (Deuteronomy 10:12-16). Circumcision of the heart is only performed on those who decide to come into the House of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:1-6). Circumcision of the heart is performed on those who turn away from rebelling against His commandments (Jeremiah 4:1-4). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Circumcision of the flesh never saved anyone apart from the circumcision of the heart that comes by faith (Romans 3:28-30). The faith that leads to the circumcision of the heart is what makes people right with the Father of Truth (Romans 4:9). It was the faith that demonstrates circumcision of the heart that Abraham had before he was circumcised in the flesh that lead to him receiving circumcision in the flesh (Romans 4:10-12). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Those who come into the House of Truth will be circumcised in the heart through faith in the Man of Truth (Romans 15:8-9). Those who seek circumcision of the flesh in order to be justified by keeping the Law of Truth instead of being saved by circumcision of the heart that comes from faith in the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) have fallen from grace (Galatians 5:2-4). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Those who come into the House of Truth through faith in the Man of Truth will be helped by the Spirit of Truth when they receive the circumcision of the heart whether or not they have been circumcised in the flesh (Galatians 5:5-7). They will be able to join me in saying that the Law of Truth was Written on My Heart so that they can keep it. So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
The Man of Truth did not do away with the commandments in the Law of Truth concerning the circumcision of the flesh (Matthew 5:17-19). He only said that weightier matters like circumcision of the heart were more important than lessor matters like circumcision of the flesh (Matthew 23:23). Circumcision of the flesh is about attending to The Lessor Matters of The Law while circumcision of the heart is about attending to the The Weightier Matters of The Law. So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
Circumcision of the heart being the better circumcision in no way makes the circumcision of the flesh of no value. Circumcision of the flesh is required to identify those who have a right to live in the Promised Land (Genesis 17:8-11). Circumcision in the flesh identifies those who are to celebrate that their household was passed over during the deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt (Exodus 12:47-49). Circumcision of the flesh will be required along with circumcision of the heart to enter the Temple when the Man of Truth is reigning (Ezekiel 44:4-9). Circumcision of the flesh still identifies the people who the Father of Truth entrusted with His Word (Romans 3:1-2). This makes circumcision of the flesh still valuable for Jews who have also has experienced circumcision of the heart.
For these reasons Paul the Jew (Shual aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) circumcised Timothy the Jew (Timotheus) in the flesh after he had been circumcised in the heart (Acts 16:1-3). This is why Paul the Jew never taught that Jews who had been circumcised in the heart should no longer circumcise their children in the flesh (Acts 21:20-26).
One the other hand, Gentiles do not need circumcision in the flesh if they are not going to live in the Promised Land (Genesis 17:14). ["Cut off from his people" means to not be counted as part of those people who were given the right to live in the Promised Land.] They do not need circumcision in the flesh if their household was not passed over during the deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt (Exodus 12:48). They do not need circumcision in the flesh since their ancestors were not the people who the Father of Truth entrusted with His Word (Ephesians 2:11-12).
For these reasons the Gentiles who had been circumcised in the heart were not required to be circumcised in the flesh (Acts 15:24). Since they had not been part of the Original Covenant (Tanach aka Old Testament) then they did not need circumcision of the flesh as a sign of being part of that covenant once they had received the circumcision of the heart (Acts 21:25). This why Paul the Jew did not compel Titus the Gentile to be circumcised in the flesh (Galatians 2:1-3).
For these reasons neither Jew nor Gentile is to add or remove the sign of circumcision in their flesh as a condition to receiving circumcision of the heart (1 Corinthians 7:17-19). In fact even a woman can have her heart circumcised (Galatians 3:27-29). So circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision.
This better circumcision is required to be part of the spiritual family of Abraham (Romans 4:16-17). This better circumcision is the sign of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6-10). This better circumcision is done in the hidden parts of the heart (2 Corinthians 3:2-4). This better circumcision removes the covering of flesh from the heart (Romans 2:29). This better circumcision causes the one who receives it to become a new kind of person (Galatians 6:15). This better circumcision makes someone to be counted as part of the spiritual people of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-18).
You must come into the House of Truth to receive this better circumcision. You come into the House of Truth when you surrender your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).
Come into the House of Truth.
