Romans
2:17-29
17
Now you, if you call yourself a Jew'
If
you rely on the Law
And
Brag about your relationship to God;
18
If you know His Will
And
approve of what is Superior
Because
you are Instructed by the Law;
19
If you are Convinced
That
you are Guide for the Blind,
A
Light for those who are in the Dark,
20
And Instructor of the Foolish,
A
Teacher of Infants,
Because
you have in the Law
The
Embodiment of Knowledge and Truth--
21
You, then, who teach others,
DO
YOU NOT TEACH YOURSELF?
You
who Preach against Stealing, do you Steal?
22
You who say that people should not Commit Adultery,
Do
you Commit Adultery?
You
who Abhor Idols, do you rob Temples?
23
You who brag about the Law,
Do
you Dishonor God by breaking the Law?
24
As it is written:
'GOD'S
NAME IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES
BECAUSE
OF YOU.'
25
Circumcision has Value if you Observe the Law,
But
if you Break the Law,
You
have become as though you had not been Circumcised.
26
If those who are Not Circumcised
Keep
the Law's Requirements,
Will
they not be Regarded as though they were Circumcised?
27
The one who is Not Circumcised Physically
And
yet Obeys the Law
WILL
CONDEMN YOU
Who
even though you have the Written Code and Circumcision,
ARE
A LAWBREAKER.
28
A MAN IS NOT A JEW IF HE IS ONLY ONE OUTWARDLY,
NOR
IS CIRCUMCISION MERELY OUTWARD AND PHYSICAL.
29
NO, A MAN IS A JEW
IF
HE IS ONE INWARDLY;
AND
CIRCUMCISION IS CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART,
BY
THE SPIRIT
NOT
BY THE WRITTEN CODE.
SUCH
A MAN'S PRAISE IS NOT FROM MEN,
BUT
FROM GOD.
(Romans
2:17-29)
As
Christians,
Do
we teach ourselves, as we must.
Is
our Praise from God and not from man?
A
person is a Christian
If he is one Inwardly;
And Circumcision is Circumcision of
the Heart
By the Spirit
Not by the written code, or
physical.
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,
Having been buried with Him
Through your Faith in the Power of
God,
Who Raised Him from the dead.
(Colossians 2:11-12)
Today,
God's Name is Blasphemed among the Pagans
Because of the Apostate Church;
The Harlot,
Who has set aside the Word of God
And replaced it
With their own warped understanding.
