---Do not get
God wrong. Circumcision was a signal that one is a Jew at least the ones who
could speak the Hebrew language. ---Egyptians
also sometimes circumcised. ---But the key
of the circumcision is that it was an entry ticket to preaching, teaching and
worshipping God. They could be able to attend these callings of God. ---Without
circumcision it was not possible to enter close to God so one was shut out of
that opportunity. ---Was it God’s
dream that all people should worship him ever since Adam? Of course. ---But human
systems and people who got dogmatic about situations prevented others from
standing closer. ---Isaiah
understood God’s intention very well and His dream that all nations should
worship him. He died around 682 BC. ---So the gospel
of Paul in Romans and that of Jesus in the gospels and that love explained by
John in his letters were known ever since Adam. Because Isaiah knew about it.
Moses knew about it in Deuteronomy. ---Since the
gospel of universal opportunity to anyone worshipping God was available when
Moses composed Deuteronomy shortly before the entry in 1410 BC, it means it is
not a new message after the cross. The cross established what was already there.
---The bad
treatment of Gentiles was a rule designing mechanism for political, economic
and other reasons. That is no longer there after Christ came. ---Is there a
paradigm shift after Christ came? ---Yes. No more
earthly temple but one in heaven functions with Christ as key priest moving
from earth to heaven. ---Yes. There is
now a living temple on earth inside every believer who are corporately
connected by Who? God the Spirit. ---The Spirit is
also God and the biggest AI of the universe. ---Knowing and
counting every being’s hairs on their heads! ---Hearing every
cry and every sigh and every heartbeat of every human on earth in billions and
every creature in heaven uncountable. Is that not amazing? ---So are humans
the “living space of the Divine Spirit of God”? ---Of course.
Are they fluid, kinetic, operative, changing, adopting His love, adapting to
His will, following Christ’s example? Thus a living temple for God? On earth? ---Sanctification and overcoming and justification now
takes on a new meaning. ---It is no longer just words but as Heinrich Bullinger
preached in Zurich around 1560, both a word
and action. You do what you say. Jesus said the same. Adventists require the same with the
Saturday as Sabbath requirement. ---Does your
pastor preach on Sunday or on Saturday for worship? Get an almanac and figure
out which is the seventh day. ---Say it loud.
Then follow and do what you say. Your behavior must match your preaching and
teaching, Jesus said many times. ---When? Right
now.
