America-Hye: I read your references, and it appears that all they are talking about is how Jews resisted the idea that they do not have to be circumcised under the new covenant, and that the Old Testament Law no longer applies. Colossians 2:11-12 says: In Him (Christ) 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, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. Peter and others, as humans, did not immediately realize this truth. And I don't think that's a problem at all. I don't beleive, a Jew or other, needs to be physically circumcised, after being circumcised by heart. With the Love of Jesus Christ! Davit
