And He Rested: The Circumcision Party

By Jim Staley


It is much more likely that the Judaizers are judging the newest converts for not observing Sabbath keeping the direction they keep it. In the same context, he says "hey I wish that they would just emasculate themselves" and all sorts of their trying to do is defined a notch on their belt. They're telling that these converts belong to us, they're our students. "We're the rabbis, we've been with us a lot longer, Paul's a maverick we're up and counseling Jerusalem, we are the circumcision party, we know what we're doing" which is how they're beginning to turn into a nuisance to Paul.

Every time he's coming out of town, they're to arrive town and he's warning them avoid things the way that they do them. Do them based on the commandment like Jesus said do whatever they tell you to do for Moses to find out but don't do what they do. So while we are in Colossians chapter 2, let's cope with this one verse cause which says "when you're dead in your sins (in verse 13) and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with the Messiah.

He forgave us all our sins, that's critical he proclaiming that he forgave us all in our sins as well as in the next verse he says this (verse 14) "having cancelled the written code, having its regulations, that was against us understanding that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it for the cross" but the key is in verse 13 in the event it said that Yeshua forgave us of all sins.

Remember there's a curse in the law? He's doing away with the curse, he's forgiving us of our own sins and that's why what he says in verse 14 "have a cancel the written code, what's He referring to there? Well, let's read it in the different version and I'll think you recognize a lot better.

A better rendering is incorporated in the ISV version; international standard version says this having erased the charges that were brought against us with their decrees that were hostile to us. He took those charges away when he nailed them to the cross were the (Lamsa) or the Aramaic version says this and also by his commandments he canceled the written bond of our sins which stood against us and the man took it out of the way, nailing it towards the cross; Now does not create a lot more sense if it is which he became the curse for us if he tells us that? We broke regulations we deserve that, right?

Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23, so that all of us have fallen in short supply of the glory of God, all of us have broken the commandments and we all deserve death and the man became death for us. He failed to do away with the law; He did away using the death or the curse. If He did away with all the law, then we have a problem because now there is no definition of sin, there is no curse and there's no need for a savior and the way can Yahweh throw anyone into hell on judgment day at the end of the thousand year millennial reign of the Messiah for breaking something that doesn't exist? So were breaking all kinds of logic in that permanent state with the rules there.
