Circumcision Of Putting Off The Deeds of the Flesh.

The point of “putting off the deeds of the flesh is that “flesh and bone does not inherit the kingdom”, but the re-spirited mind of faith does just as expediently as it puts off the needs and the deeds of the flesh as antagonistic to the faith, to include fears and doubts to dis-believe the Gospel as pertinent and relevant Today! For “today is the day of salvation.” Tomorrow might not be.

And NOT to mean to put off the carnal body itself, as we read from Colossians 2.11 saying “ In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, It is to put off a body of beliefs! For in doing so, this is the restoration of the fall each one of us inherited from Adam and Eve.

For it was the flesh that was the innocent bystander. And because the fall happened in the spirit of the mind, for there were no broken bones, bruises or cuts, but the upside down way of thinking as the only thing needed to restore you back to “that which is from the beginning” before the Fall.

It is a wayward way of thinking that resulted in the fall that needed to be restored and not the flesh body resurrection, or an end time last days Jesus thing at all.

So lets look further at how we “put off the body of the sins of flesh” and put on righteousness of faith, by faith as the reversal of the fall from the beginning. For this is the salvation of God through His Son, who is also His word (John 1.1). Because (12 to as many as received Him (meaning Christ), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in His name: 13 Who were born, NOT of blood, NOR of the will of the flesh, NOR of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became 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.

So “He became flesh and dwelt among us” to show us how to “put off the body of the deeds of the flesh” by changing our ways of thinking. This is why we are instructed to “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, that you may know Gods good, acceptable and perfect will. This is our work in the faith, in the invisible, spirit and truth as to how we receive the gift of life given from that cross, as a job finished and well done.

Paul writes about those in Christ in Colossians 2 “11 In whom ye also are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh (as a wayward way of thinking) by the circumcision of Christ:

Showing us that it is NOT putting off the physical body itself, but putting off the body of disbeliefs called sins. That is us trying to protector save the flesh in carnal ways. To mean saving the carnal man is a wayward way of thinking, to include all of your coverages and policies.

These things we put off are promotionals and motivators that are the sins that are antagonistic and not the flesh itself. For if it was the flesh that was antagonistic, then that would mean that Adam and Eve were already sinners the moment they were created even before they committed sin, and that just cannot be so. For Paul to go on and teach us “13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He (Christ) made us alive together with Himself, having forgiven you all your trespasses;

And From Romans 7 “5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were (past tense) by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death (or, that killed us). 6 But NOW we are delivered from the law (accusations and condemnations that killed us), that being dead (and un-responcive to the Spirit) wherein we were held; for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in the (flesh prompted by the) oldness of the letter.

For Paul to finish this explanation with “25 therefore I thank God through Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God;

We also have Peters perspective where he wrote that “18 For Christ also hath suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, in order to bring us (back) to God, (by) being put to death in His flesh, but quickened by Gods Spirit.”  In our flesh.

The spirit becomes our new habitation for us who are born again and borne from above. We have our do-over

To finalize the deal by saying “21 The like figure where unto even (on the picture  of) baptism does also save us now (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh (itself), but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: As having happened to us as well.

Of which baptism itself is just a physical ritual to make visible the spiritual realities, and the invisible reversal of Adams fall that happened to us as well, that everyone was born into. So that Baptism negates our association with Adam, to associate with Christ for them to be “born again” and “borne from above” as being newly created, or in bible lingo, born again.

This is our rectification and our salvation from the fall. And this salvation all takes place where the fall happened, in the spirit of our minds.

Even as we read from Hebrews 11 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things are not (carnally) seen. ² For by faith (in the invisible) the elders obtained a good report (with God the Father).

And this “report” was written down in scripture for our retrieval. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruptible (word), and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality (all by the working of faith), then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

To mean that we have past from death to life in this way, all by our tools of faith in the invisible where the fall took place.

So then to take this at face value, it is when you have “put off”the old habits inherited from Adam and Eve as a wayward way of thinking as having to do with being dead to God, for us to in turn put on the gift of Godliness by faith.

This is the reversal of that fall, the redemption and the salvation from God, given to us just as simply as we inherited sin from Adam and Eve, saying “12 To as many as received Him (who is invisible), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in is name.¹³ Who were born, NOT of blood, NOR of the will of the flesh, NOR of the will of man, but of God :

And this all takes place by faith to mean the invisible, outside of view of carnal perceptions, ALL in the spirit of the mind where Adam and Eve fell.

Even as we were instructed to “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind. For He made Him who knew no sin (Christ) to become our sin for us to (in turn) become the righteousness of God (by being found) in Him. “For in Him is no sin.”And we are in Him this is true

Here are some more verses from scripture showing us to put off the flesh by the workings of faith, and to put on the new you in the image of Christ, of who He “was and is and is to become” who is “at hand” right now.

That if you have NOT understood this, it is likely because you expect Christ to perform another type of saving? Like the end times, last day cult do by promulgating the farce of a “second coming Jesus” which in truth is not found once in scripture. Because we are to “put off the old man and its deeds, to include those illusions and lies, to put on the new. And only in this way can you be saved. As for those who sit and wait? Or go to the world for their needs? It is they who will be regarded as those who went to the world for their wedding garments, to be told “depart from Me you workers of inequity for you are not mindful of the things of God (to put on) but the things of man.

So unless you want to face these charges, “put on Christ” one revelation at a time as the Gospel demands while the invitation is still at hand. And how? Keep reading, for.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk in honesty, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to (the likeness of) God, in true righteousness and holiness. As an attainable goal.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And having put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge (showing you the neccesary tools to accomplish this) after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew (as a preferance), circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.

1 Thessalonians 5.8 “8 But let us who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

And just as we are showing you. Those who put off the deeds and needs of the flesh associated with canal needs, greed, and fears and self protection.

18 For Christ also hath suffered once for (all of our) sins, the just for the unjust, in order to bring us to God (The Father), being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Amen!

It was as He suffered He set us free from the promptings of fears, short comings and appearing to be naked. So that we NOW being clothed in His Word? This is His original essence of who He was before “The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. And we beheld His Glory, the Glory of the Only Begotten of the Father full of grace and truth”. As is this testimony, to be able to chime in with the rest who have gone before us as “to the spirits of just men made perfect, while they were sojourners seeking this goal. This is an accomplishment that doesn’t require our carnal visual death because that is the price Gods Only Begotten paid for us.

This is the Gospel, and This is The Kingdom of God at hand”. To mean proverbially reachable and attainable like this.

Amen!

The Kingdom of God is at hand.
