Summary/Abstract: Pavlus preaches the gospel of god in two different forms: first he proclaims the Israelian who descended from David in the flesh, second the one elected and designated son of God according to spirit. He first verges to contact to Yahweh as the creator and second verges to the savior's human lineage. Pavlus is speaking symbolically. David signifies the demiurge himself as an appropriate metaphor, first in that he masters the things he created like any vise and dignified king, and second as demiurge he has formed and fathered the mankind in the flesh. Pavlus characterizes still implicitly the psychic preaching of the savior according to the flesh as son of the demiurge (David) but the pneumatic proclamation of Christ according to the spirit as one designated son of god or the father. The majority of christians or called who are come from the flesh who sight in faith perceive as the visible cosmos an image of the invisible God, worship to the demiurge who advertised himself the creator or high power. The pneumatics who keep precepts of the spirit far better than psychics who are bound to obey the demiurgic law. The inner, the law of God, is written only on pneumatic's heart, not literal written and not consist to secret texts. So the psychics who received sacred words from the demiurge themselves understood them only literally. Pavlus concludes that the pneumatics abolish the law through the faith. The law is abolished by to the elect, the advantage of circumcision is that it offers the possibility of salvation to those psychics who are not included among the elect.
