The full title of this page - "32414100 Yehovaw's Circumcision" - includes its catalog number, which shows the place I have given it among the many fascinating topics I have arranged in the Table of Contents of this website's amazing Vault!

As for "Yehovaw's Circumcision", it is the cutting off of the foreskin of a male child's or a man's penis! And, understandably, such a painful procedure for a religious reason has become an highly controversial subject!

The Apostle Paul vigorously opposed Yehovaw's circumcision for the Gentiles, to whom he believed himself sent by Yeshuaw; yet Yehovaw's toraw or law remains clear that His male children must make that token sacrifice of self in obedience to His commandment!

In fact, the language that Yehovaw used in describing His covenant with Abraham and with the children of Abraham who would follow him (Genesis 17:10 to 14) was so strong and emphatic in relation to his circumcision that a sincere student of his toraw or law would have to wonder how the apostle Paul ever dared to question it, even for the Gentiles, who were not of Abraham's "seed". (Genesis 17:12) For Yehovaw said, through Moses:

⁴⁸When a stranger shall sojourn with thee and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land! For no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof! ⁴⁹One law shall be to him who is homeborn and unto the stranger who sojourneth among you. (Exodus 12:48 and 49)

When Yehovaw had sent Yeshuaw to Earth, to walk among His children and teach them of Himself, he said, through Yeshuaw:

If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments! (Matthew 19:17)

Yehovaw did not say, through Yeshuaw, Keep the commandments except for the circumcision! And, when He was giving through Yeshuaw his final instructions for His disciples before bringing Yeshuaw back home to Heaven, He said, through Yeshuaw:

¹⁹Go ... and teach all nations ... ²⁰ ... to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19 and 20)

"All things whatsoever I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20) included Yehovaw's covenant of the circumcision with Abraham (Genesis 17:7 to 14), which is in His toraw or law, not to mention His repeating it through Moses (Leviticus 12:3), which is, also, in His toraw.

But the apostle Paul came along, presumably as one of Yeshuaw's apostles, teaching:

Circumcision is nothing! And uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the Commandments of God! (1st Corinthians 7:19)

Notice, please, that in Paul's view Yehovaw's "circumcision is nothing" (1st Corinthians 7:19) right along with "the keeping of the Commandments of God", clearly a contemptuous reference to both! And to get around the fact that Yehovaw's circumcision was among His commandments, Paul taught "a righteousness of God without the law". (Romans 3:21), a grievous falsification of Yehovaw's intent for the children of Israel, who are still the only children He has ever commanded to do anything! He said, through Yeshuaw:

I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel! (Matthew 15:24)

Amen! Alleluia!
