There are a few billion folks in this world who have access to the bible, but also access to other ancient holy scriptures, who have chosen to believe that those other holy writings are the revealed truth from Up Above.

And there are others who have never seen or heard of the Bible that you choose to revere. God may have a plan for them, also, that you are not aware of.

I could just as easily urge you to read those ancient holy writings (some of them predate the bible, some don't) and keep asking you, over and over, that if you haven't, WHY NOT?

I've read part of the O.T. and all of the N.T. I do believe that Jesus was One With God and knew it, and that is why the Chosenites had him killed. They did not want to hear his message. Jesus' message was entirely for Jews, not gentiles living in the 21st century. That some of the prophecies have come true does not mean I have to buy the whole philosophy hook, line & sinker. You may interpret the situation that way, but I don't. My mind is just as good as yours, Russ, and don't forget it. God will ultimately decide.

And, yes, circumcision is evil and wicked. If it were so good, God wouldn't have sent his only son to try and fix its inventers up.
