Dear All: Some questions are of an obfuscatory nature, not to seek enlightenment (the attitude is that I’m already enlightened and all I need to do is ask you a question to dismiss everything you’ve said….). Jesus was born with a foreskin because he was born a male human being (There; was that too hard Brother?). And he was circumcised because he was born a Jew under the Law (obvious, surely?). Jesus satisfied the Law fully on my behalf (including circumcision, which no longer applies to Christians, although they may still do it for sanitary reasons), and was in fact the Incarnate Torah. The Law is therefore no longer my rule of life, since I now have the fully sufficient moral law of the New Covenant to replace it.
Love, Bob.

Dear Cheryl: I have just encountered your magnificent work on WIM, and I am completely sympathetic (as a Calvinistic Baptist ordained by one of their SBC churches in 1979). I also wrote a chapter in InterVarsity’s Discovering Biblical Equality (IVP, 2005) on this nonsense about God being male. Your DVD set will help a lot of puzzled people get this issue straight in their own minds. There is so much confusing speculation on the topic, and not enough serious consideration of the actual logical possibilities of the relevant texts. The reason so many Pastors don’t make any effort to answer you is because they can’t. You’re right and they’re wrong. The Bible trumps Holy Tradition every time….. Love, Bob.
