The Uncircumcision...
The uncircumcision, what does that mean? Does it mean those that have not had their genitalia mutilated in a ritual removal of flesh? Or is it a spiritual term at times used to refer to a state of lacking the removal of one's ritual impurity? I am using the word for this second meaning.
Now in my interpretation, those that worry about the law and conform to its ways to the letter are the circumcision. They follow the insightful advice of the Apostle Paul in keeping blameless. Yet if you are a Christian, you are allowed to do things that violate the Laws of God as presented in the Old Testament! Like eating pork or being uncircumcised.
In my view, if you are only taking scripture granted liberties, you are just eating some of the variety of pork dishes available, like bacon, pork chops, pork loin,... Even if you are just taking your scripture law from the New Testament book of James (1:26, 2:12), then you are still eating pork products like sausages or roasts.
If however one goes all out theater rogue lawless and does as one please out of all the harmless acts in Godhead theater of the mind, then you are part of the spiritual uncircumcision. You are one that does not care to put on the appearance of innocence in the eyes of a lawful society but instead does not care what others think of you. You will do what you please and so long as you are not damaging to others permanently could not care what they think of what you do with them now.
The spiritual uncircumcision is often treated as what is wrong with life. They are the bad guys. They are the damned. They are a bunch of criminals. Yet compared to what is really bad in Godhead, these lawless behaved are just a bunch of theater villains.
So relax. If you can believe you are in good company. Everyone is a star in their own life story and not really up to anything worse than tragic. There may be heartbreak, tears, and drama but it is only good theater, and you are showing how normal you are to have a good cry every now and then about what the human family has come to. Man's inhumanity to its fellow man.
