I believe.
circumcision of the heart is when the sword Jesus came to bring, penetrates your soul.
Mary was was told that a sword would penetrate even her soul.
Do you think Jesus would have been happy about that, this was his own mother, but it has to be done.
Just as it has to be done in anyone who comes to the lord, and this sword is only designed to bring you fulfillment once it's work is done in full in any believer.
Because that sword is not meant to bring peace, but a word that would change you that would become offensive to you, judge you, correct you, even punish you. Divide brother and sister. And when Jesus comes back for his sword, which would be me you and everyone who has this sword will be judged by it.
No one,.not one will be able to say they never knew the lord, and there will be no excuses, as next time he comes to judge.
And anyone who has a sword will beat there sword from the hearts into the ploughshares, and Jesus will put the sheep on the right and goats on the left.
And he will judge and.settle disputes amongst the sheep. ( The nations).
Including everyone of your disputes if your here.

Thank you,
But I do think he does not understand.
God is able to make the natural man understand, in fact, that is what the HS does when he was sent, to convict the world of sin righteousness and judgment
A natural man may not be able to comprehend deep biblical truths. But he can with the help of God understand the gospel

Ephesians 2:1: "You were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient." This verse explains that believers were spiritually dead due to their sins but have been made alive through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:11: "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." This verse describes how the Holy Spirit brings forth life in believers, both spiritually and potentially physically at the time of the resurrection.
John 6:63: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life." This verse reinforces the idea that the Holy Spirit imparts life and spiritual vitality to believers.
1 Corinthians 15:45: "The first man Adam became a living being"; "the last Adam became a life-giving spirit." This verse compares the first Adam, created as a physical being, with the second Adam, Jesus Christ, who provides spiritual life to believers.
These verses demonstrate that the Holy Spirit plays a critical role in making believers alive spiritually, thus answering the question regarding Scriptures on how a man is quickened by the Holy Spirit.

But God was talking about the nation of Israel there. Not induvidual people
The calvinistinterpretation of Rom 9 - 11 is also flawed. It is taken out of Context
Jesus told jerusalem how often he wanted (willed) to take them under his wing 9he spoke of the time he was in heaven before he came to earth) But they were unwilling
Gods will was they be saved.
They rejected Gods will..

Correction it says he who believes in him is not condemned.
Do you understand to say to someone if you don't believe you are condemned is judging someone by your own law.
You need him to help you believe, and if for some reason you even you don't believe, his sword will condemn you.
Because when you not believing you are not walking in spirit,

Not so-
Your statement "Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief" is incorrect from a Christian theological perspective.
The Bible clearly teaches that Christ died for the sins of all humankind, including the sin of unbelief.
Firstly, the Bible makes it abundantly clear that Christ died for the sins of all people. 1 John 2:2 (ESV) states, "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
Similarly, Titus 2:14 (ESV) proclaims, "who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works."
These verses indicate that Christ's death extends to cover the sins of everyone, including the sin of unbelief.
Secondly, the Bible teaches that unbelief itself is a form of sin. Hebrews 3:12 (ESV) warns against hardening one's heart toward God, stating, "Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God." Furthermore, Mark 16:16 (ESV) notes that those who do not believe in Christ will face judgment, indicating that unbelief is a sin deserving punishment.
Thirdly, the Bible reveals that Christ's death covers every kind of sin, even those committed unwillingly or ignorantly. Matthew 12:31-32 (ESV) states, "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." This passage shows that Christ's death covers all kinds of sins except for the deliberate rejection of the Holy Spirit.
