Shalom.
Today is Rishon, Aviv 16, evening and morning, night and day.
I am a citizen of the United States of America. I was born here. I am circumcised. I am a Torah Observant Jew.
Were you wanting to go to Israel to be circumcised? Or, do you want to be circumcised?
Can an uncircumcised person observe the Sabbath do you think? I am a Sabbath Observant Jew.
Shalom.

Jesus circumcises our hearts, and we have a part in our circumcision too.
We come to Jesus and repent of our sins. WE PUT OFF the sinful nature; and Jesus puts away our sins.
Colossians 2:11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,
Jeremiah 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, circumcise your hearts, you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire because of the evil you have done-- burn with no one to quench it.
Deuteronomy 10:16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
Circumcision of the flesh was just the sign...not the promise itself. The PROMISE has come. Circumcision is no longer a sign in our flesh that we give, for the Holy Spirit living in us is now our sign.
Circumcision was an outward sign to separate a nation unto God. We are now separated to God by faith in His Son.
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
We are the CIRCUMCISION, we who worship by the Spirit.
Philippians 3:3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
