The people in the covenant with God HAD TO get circumcised in the flesh or they could NOT be called a child of God.
They HAD TO ATONE for their own sins!
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood thatmaketh an atonement for the soul.
They HAD to like you HAVE to put gas in your car...what a burden right?
Your rebelliousness knows no end...being saved means WANTING to do something as “Thy Law is a delight”...imagine the joy of being called His People...
but for you its oy vey! we HAVE to do this? AND this? And THIS too?
The Gentiles did not do the things required to be in the covenant with God, and they were called ‘unclean’ people and ‘without’ God’ and ‘separate from the promises’.
Yours keep forgetting Israel was ALWAYS about ALL people and His house a house of prayer for ALL NATIONS...

These texts are why jews rejected Yahushua KILLED HIM EVEN...because He reminded them Israel was about faith and obedience BY ANYONE...WHOSOEVER BELIEVES...because Yah SO LOVED THE WORLD...
And it makes people MAD that Israel is NOT a special genetic bloodline but of promise...from ABOVE
ALWAYS WAS SPIRITUAL as Sarah’s bloodline was DONE she was barren...but YAH made Issac...YAH changed Jacob’s name to ISRAEL...
YAH determines Who His people are...not man his traditions of might and power
Yup Israel always just spiritual and not genes and for all Nations makes people really MAD
Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
yup the wall between jew and goy was well established but IN HIM it was destroyed...is why let no one judge goyim for KEEPING the sabbaths et al...which ARE a shadow of things STILL TO COME...
No they are not. A baby boy eight days old was in the covenant after being circumcised.
Yes BY HIS PARENTS FAITH...that baby boy grew in faith because he understood who he was...and WANTS to remains so and by DOING the Law...Israel was always of promise and faith to that promise by works...
Noah had faith AND OBEDIENCE.
In Noah’s time there was not the Law yet of circumcision.
However, it is ALWAYS about FAITH AND OBEDENCE.
But the old law WAS NOT BASED ON FAITH.
LOL they were saved BEFORE they even received the Law...they WANTED to keep it because they were saved...well they said they did LOL...and believed they were of Abraham...
That covenant was because of the one given to Abraham...you believe he was your father you obey...as he did...
You think Abraham would reject a command? Make void a law through faith? CERTAINLY NOT!
If you don’t obey, then your faith is worthless, it is DEAD.
duh...you just cherry pick what you obey...the rest are not for you...
Like getting an owner’s manual with your new car and randomly removing its pages...”nope not for me”
If a person isn’t doing right, then it is NOT love, no matter how much they tell the person they say they want to marry that they love them.
Doing right is exactly the point of the law...it goes from HAVE TO to WANT TO..I mean someone has to pay you to clean their kitchen yes?...but your own kitchen you don’t HAVE TO right? I mean it’s your kitchen...you should WANT TO...
But your rebelliousness and hatred of the Law is quite profound...cleanliness is next to Godliness I heard
