There is a First Church of Satan in California which, like any other church, is tax deductible. But a lot of people woud love to catch them doing something nasty.
What if this happened?
A reporter goes undercover pretending to be a Satanist and he discovers a brutal, bloody ritual. He discovers that whenever a male child is born into the sect, there is a party where a Satanist with no medical training and no anesthetic cuts a pice off of the newborn boy’s sex organ.
Everybody woud raise hell about such a indecent and vicious practice.
Unless, of course, the Satanists could prove they were JEWISH Satanists.

I don’t know what this thing with circumsision is about. Remember, Jesus Christ, himself was circumcised. Luke 2:21 Shari

lemon, Jesus was also crucified.
Christians should not crucify or circumcize.
Torturing a baby is EVIL.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
That is NOT a quote from the Old Testament.
Jehovahism is evil.

Galatians 1:6-7: “I marvel, that you are so soone removed from him, who called you into the grace of Christ, unto an other Gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ.”
5:2-4: “Behold, I Paul say unto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profite you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law. 4 Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law: YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE.
Thus according to the Bible, circumcision is not just a sin, performing it suggests you are not a Christian!!! If this is not clear, reread the entire book of Galatians, especially chapter five. Actually all the Gospels and Epistles are full of the same idea, but the Bible has been so willfully re-interpreted by wolves in sheep’s clothing, that when Christians read what is SO CLEARLY WRITTEN, they hear something else.
They hear a different Gospel.
The Gospel is so clear to Jews, that they tell me that that the New Testament is in essence anti-Semitic.

Placing faith in the acts of the law for salvation is not effective for salvation because you can’t earn salvation. Place Paul’s words in context and they mean something quite different than what Peter thinks they mean.
God has always granted salvation for the same reason, faith in Him, not a group of acts.

The Gospels and Epistles are quite clear that Christ fulfilled the Jewish law for Jews for ever.
Of course, the Jewish law was never over us, the Nations, in the first place.
The Gospels and Epistles not only never say to sexually mutilate our loved ones, they say DON’T DO IT.
The whole book is about circumcision and to do it is to glory in your FLESH. Paul ends the book with “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” Circumcision is what the book is about!
The Apostle Paul sets the context for Christians performing circumcision in his topic sentence, right at the beginning:
“I marvel, that you are so soon removed from him, who called you into the grace of Christ, unto an other Gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ.”
As Bob notes, Peter also preaches STRONGLY against circumcision.
Peter and Paul would not preach so strongly about something in many different books, were it not a SIN.
Thanks, Bob, for your piece here.
