Maggie, you speak in the spirit and fulness of Christ Jesus with a heart of love, grace for grace.
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

WE believe in glory shown to the begotten Son of God, the Word of God that dwelled in the flesh/Christ Jesus.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Knowing full well to hear HIS Voice and to follow Christ Jesus who leads us, we Do Not reject the bread of life. Instead we hold stedfast in confedence of HIS truth and grace. Circumcised of the heart.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Deu 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
~ in Christ

sndbay,
Very well said.
But I ask this, what is cut away in the "Circumcised of the heart."
Does the heart have a foreskin of sorts?
If so what is it?
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

Yes the foreskin would be an obstinate additude from the ( inner man / heart of man ) that would show stubbornness toward God.
Those who are circumcised would be cut off from that obstinate additude, and instead give praise and glorify God for all the great things that He has done, and has shown us.
God is the God of all, and Lord of all. We are to hold a godly fear in God, and serve Him. And always cleave to Him , and swear by His name.
( Deu 10:17-21)

1 John 2:15-16-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Mankind today show that their hearts are not circumcised when, they do not cleave to God and HIS name, but chose to lust over, and honour earthly images of examples. They do not believe in all that God has done, and fulfilled. Instead they chose to follow what man puts before them.

Hebrews 10:9-10 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

The World As It Is

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

sndbay,
Thank you much,

Peter inspired by the Holy Spirit said, if the weak man was examine by what he has done in good work, Then by what means was this done? The answer Peter gave was by Christ Jesus

The teaching that does not deviate from the truth, and that has restored life to us, comes by Christ Jesus.

And even Peter stood not by his own weakness, but was made whole by Christ Jesus.

Praise, and glory to Christ Jesus our Lord.

Acts 4:9-10 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by HIM doth this man stand here before you whole.

Christ Jesus is the head of all builders, and the builders are not set at higher esteen then Christ.

Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

No earthly man other then Christ can bring us life.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Praise and thankgiving to our Father, who sent HIS begotten Son Christ Jesus. The Bishop and Shepherd of our souls has made us perfect to do HIS will.

Hebrew 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

~Grace be with you all.

Yes, "Praise, and glory to Christ Jesus our Lord."
Peace and kindness,
