I'm hoping I misunderstand that statement. Circumcision was a requirement of the law. Avoiding circumcision under the Mosaic law was a sin for a Hebrew.<br /><br />Also, the "excess skin" concept you mention is found nowhere in scripture. To imply that the uncut male body is sinful is to imply that God made us imperfect. The law of circumcision was started by a "pact" (if you will) between Abraham and Jehovah God. To demonstrate continuance of that agreement, all offspring were to demonstrate loyalty to God. Even non-Israelites males who converted to Judaism were required to show their full acceptance of the faith by being circumcised.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810102648783268285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7540246246600593898.post-39054824429291897352012-01-18T12:37:36.175-08:002012-01-18T12:37:36.175-08:00I have appended a clause in paragraph #6 due to a ...I have appended a clause in paragraph #6 due to a discussion from a friend to make it clear that I do not believe that faith is a work.Dr. Ron Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233183522385398332noreply@blogger.com
