Against those Jews who required circumcision of the Galatian Christians, Paul was quite adamant in his letter:
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law (5:3).
I would they were even cut off which trouble you (5:12).
Against those who would shame the faithful to pay the bills, or oblige contributions as evidence of faith, Paul would have none of it:
. . . not out of sorrow or out of necessity . . . (2Cor.9:7).
Owe nothing to anyone . . . (Romans 13:8).
For all you folks out there in Literalville, that's : Nothing, nada, zip; to none, nobody, no one.
Think about it.
