Rule -> RE: What is Lost Due to Circumcision? (5/24/2010 7:15:03 PM)

You have forgotten to translate that into Russian for those who speak Russian.

If you were less forgetful, you might better comprehend me.

Pray tell what is racist about discussing the evolution of organs? It is what evolution biologists do. Seems to me that ostrich policies are evidence of hypocrisy.

Nicely said! I was thinking what's lost due to circumcision is quite a bit less than what's lost going on and on about circumcision.

Most telling circumstantial evidence in my opinion is Saint Paul's remark that it is better to be circumcised of heart than to be circumcised of the flesh.


What does it mean to be circumcised of the heart?

It does not seem like something the God, Life, would say.

Rule -> RE: What is Lost Due to Circumcision? (5/24/2010 7:38:53 PM)

Being circumcised of heart, as I interpret Saint Paul, means being inherently a good person for having a conscience. It is what Paul said, and in my opinion he was a supergenius - and in my opinion in this case he was right.

Edited to add: Simply read Paul!

That doesn't make sense to me... It would read: it is better to be inherently a good person for having a conscience, than to be circumcised of the flesh.

Seems to me it would be referring to a cutting away of the heart.

It refers to exposing the heart The cutting away of the restraints of this earthly life to open the heart to the love and teaching of the lord.

Thank you, tazzy.

I'm still a bit confused, is flesh not considered one of the earthly restraints?

tazzygirl -> RE: What is Lost Due to Circumcision? (5/24/2010 7:58:17 PM)

Yes it is. But it has been my understanding that the passage Rule refers too is more about the flesh than the spirit. Basically, what Paul was trying to express is that all the cutting of the foreskin would not guarentee anyone a place in heaven ~ that was the belief of the time, that without circumcision of the flesh, one could not enter heaven ~ without the circumcision of the heart. It was Paul's belief that the heart would carry far more weight than the other, and rightly so.

Thank you, again. [;)]

I am certain that is accurate, also. [:)]

I don't want to be that guy who piles on, but he also liked basket weaving.  I know I am just as shocked and disgusted as everyone else.

Saint Paul implies that being circumcised of the heart has nothing to do with cutting away flesh. It means that the Law is written in the heart, in the soul, of a person, instead of in a book as is necessary for those who do not have a conscience.

Again: Read Saint Paul.

I often wonder why people cannot understand the plain language.

Well, if he was a supergenius, then he was justified in being megalomaniacal. I am a supergenius myself and have reason to assume that by divine decree I am entitled to rule all of humanity - and perhaps some alien species as well.

As for Saint Paul being a homophobic misogynist, that probably is a consequence of him being a member of the homophobic misogynist Abrahamic Jewish population that he was born in.

A self-defined supergenius... my my, what would Freud have said about that!

Fuck Freud....Rule is a super genius and if he would stop fucking around he could take the helm of humanity.

You certainly have admirable qualities.

I have no voices.
