As you know I don't pay a lot of attention to teachings such as Gnostic or other "wisdom of man" teachings. I do pay alot of attention to what the Word of God says.

The Word of God says that we have recieved a circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh.

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

So what does that mean?

So what was cut away or cut around?  What was separated within our bodies. Something was done with the body of the sins of the flesh. It was cut away, cut away from what? Cut away from our Spirit. How? By the circumcision of Chirst. Christ died, went to hell and left the body of the sins of the flesh there. He rose and ascended into Heaven without them.

As we are complete in Him... we are spiritually sinless. We have not yet died adn undergone the physical resurrection, or experienced the rapture, so in the flesh we are still sinful. But When God looks at us He doesn't see that flesh... He sees us seated in Heavenly places with His Son. In order to be there we have to be spiritually sinless. It wasn't brought about by something we did... it was brought about by something Chirst did.

We are still in the state of a trinity... I have no doubt about that, but just because you put three things in a jar... it doesn't mean those three things are completely connected one to the other.

In Christ,
