``The body of Christ, given for thee?''

"Who would Jesus do?"

Gah. Sounds like a priest in training to me.

I think the question of "what would Jesus do" has gone unresolved.

Reserved for my future wife.

Actually I think this was part of the reason for circumcision. Many of the false religions that surrounded the Israelite incorporated orgies into the religous observances.

God's people weren't to be like that. And every time they used the bathroom, they were reminded of that. They were different. They were to be holy. They were God's covenant people.

If they were tempted, hopefully when they saw the circumcision they would remember - I can't do that, I belong to God.

The "beloved disciple", of course. And I'd be willing to entertain the guy, but he has to shower and brush his teeth really good. Or is that covered under "incorruptible"?

Just the men, though. So either the women didn't need reminding that they had to be "different" and "holy", or female circumcision was practised as well. Which is it?
