Galatians 5:2, King James version
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
link to other translations:
Galatians 5:2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive
At first I was like, "well, there's lots of stuff in the old testament that Christians don't really believe in, like the ban on shellfish and such" then I'm like "woah, Jesus wasn't IN the old testament"
So is this the church's official stance? That anyone who is circumcised cannot receive divine absolution? Anyone more versed in the faith than I know the answer?
