Eph.2:11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); 2:12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

Can the flesh make peace with God? Not a trick question? The Gentle must of thought that being circumcised in their flesh would make peace with God in a holy covenant like Israel had? But strange, in the flesh a Gentle could never be apart of Israel they we kept separate, only a Jew could serve in the temple.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Circumcision did not reconcile the Jews or the Gentles to God, not even the law did that. Those were signs, of a condition that exist in all humans, sins. Circumcision was a sign that they had come into a holy covenant through the blood, without blood none could be saved even under the law.

1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Christ?

Hebrews 9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

Hebrews 9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

Now the Gentles were seduced by the power of flesh once more; just like Eve was seduced by the serpent, how? By a lie, flesh has no power in Christ. Flesh has no power under the law! Flesh is dead to redemption as corrupted by sin. Flesh is not a good tree producing good fruit, flesh produces the fruit of its vine, not fruit of Holy Spirit!

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

How had the Gentles been seduced, just as so many Christian's are seduced today? Eve was seduced by a physical snake talking to her. Yes, flesh is seduce by other flesh, by sight. Flesh is very impressed with the physical things of this world, the hidden things “mystery” the flesh greatly seeks, like precious stones desired to impress flesh like a god, like Eve longed for, to be looked up to, to be glorified by her flesh upon earth. Knowledge, any type of knowledge, knowing all, even the deep things of this world are sought by the flesh as gold!

1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

Romans 3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Romans 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Christian's believe if they touch knowledge against the scriptures it become clean, acceptable, as being exempted by their holy and good mind. Eve, must of thought the same, but there is nothing new under the Sun when it comes to sin in mankind's heart. That is, Christian, or otherwise, flesh always acts the same it entitles itself to God's things by mere knowledge, not blood, of the life of Christ, but rather steals what is rightly in Christ jurisdiction.

Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Proverbs 27:1 Don't boast about tomorrow; for you don't know what a day may bring forth.

Romans 11:18 don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

The new covenant freed the Gentle from the flesh, killing it, and its wicked judgments by the mind of Christ which was given them freely by God's Holy Spirit. But the flesh is not impressed with waiting upon a master unseen by human eyes. Flesh must push a head into things of God, because its entitled so by its good and righteous motives. But the Holy Spirit does not lie, flesh lust against the workings of Holy Spirit it opposes the headship of Christ, just as Eve opposed her headship.

Psalms 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

Psalms 27:14 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Psalms 37:7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

Those of the spirit, angles, and those created in Christ do not take, they wait upon Christ. Christ upon earth in his flesh did not take what was God's, he waited upon God. The Jews those of the flesh took all that was God's claiming it as under the power of their jurisdiction by knowledge of the holy writings. They possessed and opposed any of the Spirit, killing if necessary the Christ and his apostles. How could the Jews not know everything, even the last days; weren't they entitle? Why not circumcision didn't they own it?

Isaiah 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

Matthew 23:15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna{or, Hell} as yourselves.

Mark 4:39 He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Dogs posses everything in their sight they don't walk by Spirit that gives up possessing on this earth, instead like the Spirit , which owes no one a single thing but love. Possession outrages the flesh, it security comes from taking, having, even its desires for more knowledge of God its the same old same, nothing new under the Sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

Here the Gentles wanted to go back to flesh, flesh seeks its desires, but it is seduced and deceive by its good motives not understanding it can only seek that which is death, and the desires that promote death it own lust of the flesh. Touching holy writings does not change the flesh into new flesh, no! Christ does by his life which transforms us from flesh into Spirit, which seeks the food of spirit, by the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}

Ezekiel 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they daub it with whitewash:

Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

Rom.9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"{Isaiah 29:16; 45:9} 9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
