Bible Note: Joe, "Where do we see anyone but Abraham's descendants being circumcised?" I am not part of this discussion and have no side in it. But if I am not mistaken, circumcizion is relatively common in Africa as an initatory rite and the Egyptians also circumcized, but at age 13 I believe. Check on of your bible dictionaries to see if they agrees with mine. We do may agree or disagree on a number of points, but I think you are open to suggestion on particular points that may be an unintentional error in fact. I am not commenting on the general thrust of your argument, which I have not been following, but this specific point. If I had not seen it at the start of you post I would probably have passed by it.
