Dear Sir<\/p>\n\n
All this kerfuffle by the Swedes who want to ban circumcision (as recently reported in your paper) leads me to remind these Christians that Jesus, his apostles, and all his early Jewish followers were circumcised Jews.<\/p>\n\n
God it was who had commanded his people to circumcise their newborn sons, thus: \u201cThis is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be circumcised.\u201d\u009d In keeping with God`s commandment Abraham circumcised Isaac when he was 8 days old.<\/p>\n\n
Not long ago I witnessed an amusing documentary on YES TV, where several anonymous males displayed their penises to a group of fearless females who had been invited to vote for the best looking ones.<\/p>\n\n
Would you believe that 8 out of 10 voted for the circumcised genitalia?<\/p>\n\n
Surely the Swedes should rethink their position? Do they want to earn the displeasure of God – and their women folk too?<\/p>\n\n
For those who agitate about ‘shechitah’, the Jewish method of animal slaughter, allow me to remind you that Jesus and his Apostles only ate meat slaughtered this way. Surely what was good for them should be good for today’s Christians?<\/p>\n\n
