@TheSabbathYear@MrMrsTrumpet "Κύνας" (kynas) = dogs (derogatory); "κακοὺς ἐργάτας" (kakous ergatas) = evil/bad workers; "κατατομήν" (katatomēn) = mutilation (a deliberate wordplay on περιτομή/peritomē = circumcision).
This is also what I get from the Greek
@TheSabbathYear@MrMrsTrumpet Well, chapter 2 speaks of him sending Timothy, then 3 goes into having them watch out for the circumcision party, but I can definitely see how it can be confusing or how one can see it differently. I myself can see why most of Christianity has the doctrine they have b/c of Paul.
@TheSabbathYear@MrMrsTrumpet He's addressing the circumcision party; he's not taking away from the law, just merely stating that keeping the law for salvation will not bring salvation since we all break it .
