If this is what you are saying, that Christ was circumcisized spiritually and that our spiritual circumcision is inherited from his, I would have to strongly disagree. |
Hi T
No I meant the elect (bride) were in Christ circumcised in his death, of which physical circumcision is the type. During their lives this true circumcision is applied to them.
