Of course, he is a Jew 'outwardly.' He is a seed of Abraham and God has covenant with Abraham and his seed, and everlasting covenant as described in Genesis 17:When he is one outwardly
Rom 2:28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. Genesis 17:7.
Unless you're going to contradict God and say it isn't "everlasting" as the text says or that a circumcised Hebrew is not in the Abrahamic Covenant?
And Saul is correct, the circumcision he is speaking of is of the 'life' not the penis. But still God has an everlasting covenant with Abraham and his seed in which God directed Abraham to circumcise the flesh (making the person in the covenant) and God circumcising the 'life' (making the person in the New Covenant.) And that one is also between God, Abraham, and his seed who are the children of Israel. Everlasting. Forever.
Thanks for bringing that up.
