[Mark17]

“Flesh" in this instance is a reference to Gentiles being physically circumcised (the flesh of the foreskin being cut off)

I disagree with your interpretation bro. Flesh is unregenerate, weak human nature. I thought you needed a priest to interpret for you? Did you do that? I don’t need a priest to help me interpret scripture.
It seems like it all comes down to interpretation, yours or mine. It amazes me, how you and I can read a ton of New Testament verses, and come away with views 180 degrees opposite each other. Utterly amazing. Either you are right, or I am right, but certainly not both of us.
You should read those verses you posted from Galatians, without the Catholic blinders on, and take it to heart.
I think works based religionists are the foolish ones, and are fallen from grace. My interpretation is, they are fallen from grace, simply because they NEVER had it in the first place.
I am not confident you will take this to heart. That’s on you bro. I guess it all comes down to who goes to Heaven, and who doesn’t. I have no intention of being in the “who doesn’t” category. I don’t have any idea which category you are in. Have a nice eternity bro. I plan to. 😇

Read the Book of Galatians. It is self evident that the Apostle Paul wrote it to the churches of Galatia because they were falling into the heresy of Gentiles being circumcised and keeping the Law of Moses to be saved.

Having begun in the Spirit, they were not to circumcise their flesh (foreskins), as required by God under the Abrahamic Covenant and confirmed by God in the Law of Moses, unless they were in fact Jews (like Timothy but not Titus). The fleshly observance of the Law of Moses would profit them nothing. Instead, they were to obey the Gospel and the commandments as taught by the Apostles.
