AnthonySEaston (11:19:23 PM): would you like to know an odd fact about augistine adn christs foreskin
theminorthirds (11:20:02 PM): did he eat it?
AnthonySEaston (11:20:21 PM): he thought that the entirity of orignial sin was centered there,
AnthonySEaston (11:20:37 PM): so the circumscion meant that he didnt have original sin
AnthonySEaston (11:21:04 PM): i dont know if that was for all people, or about the implications of it before the three days
theminorthirds (11:21:08 PM): one of the odd things is that jesus is born with his foreskin!
AnthonySEaston (11:21:55 PM): arent we all
theminorthirds (11:22:12 PM): not according to jewish tradition
theminorthirds (11:22:32 PM): some of the patriarchs are born without -- i think joseph was?
AnthonySEaston (11:25:31 PM): i wonder what that means?
theminorthirds (11:27:18 PM): oh the idea is that god has no foreskin, circum is to make one like god, closer to his image, and those who are born without are closer to god
AnthonySEaston (11:27:46 PM): textual cites?
theminorthirds (11:28:12 PM): pure midrash
