Selfishness has two different elements; and they are the two extremes of the Self-Righteous Behavioral Spectrum: 1. Circumcision; and, 2. Uncircumcision.  Circumcision, in general, is the concept of performing or obeying the "letter" of the written word of God (or any "holy book"); in hope of making and keeping happy the God associated with said "holy book", so He will bless us and not pour out "the wrath" of His "fiery indignation" upon us.  Thus, "Circumcision" is self-righteous, self-absorbed, self-seeking, self-promoting; but governed by the spirit of fear, nonetheless.

Uncircumcision, in general, is the concept of not being in bondage to the "letter" of the written word of God (or any "holy book"); and therefore, does what is right in its own eyes or view.  Uncircumcision carries with it the idea of, "Let us eat, drink and be merry; because tomorrow, we are going to die anyway.  So, if it makes you feel good and happy, then do it... with whomever, whatever, whenever, wherever and however that may be."  Today, many are even going so far as to refer unto this, slanderously, as "the leading of the Spirit".

Today, Grace is being confused with Uncircumcision.  The "gospel" of Uncircumcision is the "gospel" of "I don't have to do anything, at all... except live for myself, live for what feels 'good' and/or 'right' for me." 

But this is still selfishness, and there is no love in it for anyone else.  This is still the anti-Christ spirit of mind, or attitude of heart; or, what

The Book of the Revelation calls, "the Beast".  In the wild, and unless it has young, a beast will only hunt and kill for itself.  Its attitude is, "Let everyone else fend for themselves.  I have God, don't need you!"

If Grace is merely "all about" not being in bondage under any "dead letter" of outward, religious law... if Uncircumcision is True Grace, genuine liberty in Christ Jesus; then why was Apostle Paul sent unto the Uncircumcision, or Gentiles, who were never in bondage under the "dead letter" of the Law of Moses?  Yet they were selfish, self-worshiping, nevertheless.  And so it is today, with many in the current Grace "movement"...


Galatians 5: 6, 13 (KJV)
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Galatians 6: 9, 10; 15, 16 (KJV)
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Romans 3: 9 (KJV)
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin [*selfishness];
