Having lived longer than many of you who read this - I must say that all the schemes of humans will generally go astray! How?
Why?
When?
Will it be considered?
Most people will agree that the world is going off in many different directions and tangents! Most of the things they worry about or go around sprouting and confessing will matter little to naught in the vast Eternity which looms before us! We could list over a thousand things which are being voiced in the common public today - yet not touch much of anything important on the whole eternal truth!
Everything here upon this earth is temporary and conditional!
It has a beginning and an end - the only exception is the spirit of humans - which is eternal! Yes, your Spirit is Eternal!
The condition of a person's flesh is not the important thing. It doesn't matter if that flesh is circumcised or holy. Nor the color, or position, or social position you are in the here and now! It is the condition of the spirit that matters with God. Today the act of circumcision is not the issue, but acts of holiness are still deemed by many as essential for receiving salvation.
This same legalistic thinking lives on today in the doctrine of water baptism, church membership and other acts of holiness which some preach are necessary for salvation. While these things are important to recognize - it comes down to where does your Conscience and Faith rest!
Faith alone in the love of God, as expressed through Jesus, is the only thing that God demands for justification.
* Seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness
{Jesus Christ}and all the other things will be added unto you!
Matt 6:33
Religious rites mean little or nothing when looking at Eternal Salvation!.
The only thing that counts is becoming a new creation.
