Then I assume all the males in your church are circumcised?

That could very well be, but then it's been years since I've checked. I assume your point is to attack the passage in Matthew 5. I would ask what "until everything is accomplished" means to you, and if you believe in the New Covenant? I was using the passage to prove that Jesus Himself plainly stated that there were no errors in the OT, contrary to what yours and Kosta's positions appear to be. Jesus defends the OT, and quoted from it often. Then, He used His unique authority to complete its teachings. I'm going to stick with the view of Jesus on this one.

What I am asking is which part of Old Testament law do you follow, and which do you ignore? The Old Testament is clear that males must be circumcised. Also eating pork is forbidden. There are many other laws in the Old Testament that most Christians do not observe.

So which do you observe, and which do you choose to ignore, and why?
