Did Paul Circumcise Timothy For The 'Believing' Jews? – Acts 16:3-5

Now, as I sometimes do, I am going to challenge my readers with what I deem to be a very dodgy piece of Scripture. I won’t say Holy Scripture because I believe it to be satanic, and not Holy at all.

You see, since I discovered that Romans 13:1-7 was a corruption by addition to Paul’s Letter to the Romans (seven whole verses) i.e. completely bogus, I have started checking one or three other places in the Freemason-Canaanite-Judaic King James Bible to see what else I can find that would merit my scrutiny and, low and behold, Acts 16:3-5 jumped right out at me as my good wife and I were studying The Holy Scriptures this very day – the 8th June 2014.

As usual, I went online to see what most commentators were parroting, and it was all the usual guff about Paul being all things to all men in order to gain some of them for Christ, but I could not rationalise this generalisation in order to apply it to what Paul was supposed to have done regarding Timothy and HIS member – not Paul’s member, if you get my drift. If we stop and think about this issue alone for a minute or two, we must ask ourselves who the blazes was Paul to take it upon himself to order a brother in Yashua Messiah, or a brother in the Faith under His Grace, to allow him to maim and mutilate Timothy’s body i.e. The Temple of The Holy Spirit? Just what is supposed to be going on here? Were Paul and Timothy under The Law or under Grace?

Let’s be clear, Paul had no rank or authority over Timothy, other than Timothy was Paul’s charge as a Learner (disciple) of Paul, a student, and therefore in Paul’s care on behalf of Yashua Messiah – a great responsibility. Was Paul about to insult and blaspheme against Yashua Messiah and His sacrifice and go back on his own words as well?

Gal 1:6 -7 (KJV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into The Grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

“But there be some that trouble you.” Who were those troubling the brothers in Galatia? The very same types of people that we’re told Paul kowtowed to in Derbe and Lystra, so what is this all about? Are you suspicious yet? If not, I will copy this verse for you:

Gal 2:21 (KJV) I do not frustrate The Grace of God: for if righteousness come by The Law, (circumcision) then Christ is dead in vain. (Brackets mine)

Is that simple enough to understand or are we going to explain it away with intellectual, philosophical religious clap trap?

And this verse:

Philp 3:2 (KJV) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the CONCISION. (Emphasis mine)

BEWARE OF THE CONCISION!!!

Come on peeps, what are we dealing with here in Acts 16:3? I will copy it here for your information:

Acts 16:3 (KJV) Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

Are we being asked to believe that Paul did a 180 degree U-turn and went back on all he had learnt from Yashua Messiah and himself taught elsewhere just to pander to a few Judaising dogs of the concision? Well, if we read the King James Bible as it stands ,and believe like lemmings that it has no errors nor any Cainite-Judeo-Christian religious agenda, then yes YOU are being asked to believe it, and unfortunately probably do.

However, before you make your decision to carry on blindly believing this verse in Acts as written, you might want to consider the story of Paul and Peter, and Peter’s refusal to eat with non-Israelite foreigners. Did Paul rebuke and admonish Peter severely for pandering to the religious whims of the Concision – the circumcised Jews? You bet your life he did. So are we now being asked to accept that Paul is now a hypocrite? Yes you are, because that’s how the translators of The KJV have polluted this chapter of Acts: 1) to discredit the character of Paul, 2) to cause confusion and 3) to get silly blind believers in the ‘inerrant KJV’ making all kinds of excuses on Paul’s behalf in order to explain this satanic verse away.

So did Paul circumcise Timothy? Not on your life and to prove it I will use the same method that I used to prove that Romans 13:1-7 is a satanic corruption of the Holy Scriptures. So let’s copy Acts 16 from verse 1 through to verse 8:

Acts 16:1-2 (KJV) Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

The first thing we must understand about these opening eight verses is that they are primarily an itinerary of Paul’s travels in this part of the world, that’s all. This is the primary focus of these verses and I will write them as they would have been written before they were corrupted, later on.

Act 16:3 (KJV) Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

If Timothy was well received and reported of, why the need for circumcision? (Or indeed, how did they know he wasn’t circumcised?) Does that make any sense!!?? Furthermore, if his father was a Greek, that is a heathen, even more reason for him not to be circumcised because heathen Christians did not have to fulfil the demands of the Law. Yet, conversely, with Timothy having a Judahite mother, one would have expected him to have been circumcised when he was eight days old.

Act 16:4 (KJV) And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

Here is the same verse as written in The Amplified Version:

Acts 16:4 (TAV) As they went on their way from town to town, they delivered over [to the assemblies] for their observance the regulations decided upon by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

Now what do we have here? Does this verse also sound all a bit legalistic and hierarchical (the system of the Nicolaitanes that Yashua Messiah hates) with Jerusalem being the HQ like an early type of Rome dishing out its Papal Bulls and directives!!?? Again, if it doesn’t to you, then I suggest you have a rethink or perhaps you can point out The Grace within that verse.

Act 16:5 (KJV) And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

This verse as we read it sounds benign enough, but to me it has a propaganda ring to it, making you think that hundreds of people came flocking. How great were these numbers that were added when Paul later on in Athens, after speaking in the Auditorium with 100′s, possibly 1,000′s in attendance, gathered two named people and certain men. ‘Certain men’ sounds very specific doesn’t it – small in number perhaps?

Acts 17:34 (KJV) Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Who were these others? Were they genuinely interested or just curious? We’re not told. However, this verse is not so crucial to the point I am making here about Acts 16:3-4, which are definitely spurious. If we then look at verses 6-8, we can see the continuum issue that I raised in Romans 13:1-7 cropping up again where the story flow gets interrupted with lies and nonsense and then reverts back the relevant subject of itinerary:

Act 16:6-8 (KJV) Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

So let’s post this passage as I believe it should be written:

Acts 16:1-8 without verses 3 & 4 (KJV) 1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. 6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

There it is folks, as it was most likely written – no circumcision of Timothy, and no nonsense about rules and regulations coming from ‘Papal Jerusalem’, or thousands flocking to Paul. LOL – Many are called – FEW are chosen.
