Fear of the Lord-Pastor David Hoffman

Circumcision is another requirement of the Law that was
fulfilled in Christ. It was the mark of the covenant between God
and His people that all males be circumcised. Yet in the New
Testament Paul explains that circumcision of the flesh is
replaced with circumcision of the heart for those in Christ –
which was God’s intention all along [Deuteronomy 30:6]. Instead
of God’s covenant being performed in the flesh by human hands,
it is performed in the heart by the Holy Spirit and is symbolized
by baptism [Colossians 2:11-12]. Though some people prefer to
circumcise newborn males for health reasons the New Testament
is clear that God no longer requires circumcision of the flesh as a
sign of covenant relationship with Him.
The New Testament specifically states that God’s people are
released from circumcision, dietary restrictions, and animal
sacrifices because Jesus fulfilled the Law. If tithing was no
longer required the New Testament would certainly detail how
Christ had fulfilled that too—but it does not! Therefore we must
conclude from Jesus’ own words, and the rest of the New
Testament, that tithing has not been done away with.
