I know something about kemet ( egypt to you ).
Abraham of the bible did not obey circumscism to obey whom they considered God.
it was practiced by the egyptians long before what is written in the Torah.
"Based on engraved evidence found on walls and evidence from mummies, circumcision has been dated to at least as early as 6000 BCE in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian mummies, which have been dated as early as 4000 BCE, show evidence of having undergone circumcision."
@the-grifter saidThat's nice, but why are you telling us this?

@the-grifter saidI tell you this to show that the three great religions of modern times are derived from an older understanding and not themselves the truth.

Interesting. So - how much older is this "older" understanding??

@the-grifter saidI don’t understand. What is circumscism? I am acquainted with circumcism, indeed I am circumcised myself, but I have not come across circumscism. Please elucidate….

@pianoman1 saidIt's when there's a big argument over whether the practice is still appropriate for modern times, and half the church leaves and forms a new "uncut" denomination.

@pianoman1 saidIt's a typo for "circum-schism," which was a schismatical sect of ancient Sumarians who believed the Earth is circum-navigable with a hot-air balloon. They were ostrich-sized by the Sumarian Great King Nuzzybullahtuttifruitti and fled to Egypt, where they failed in their attempt, not due to lack of hot air, but rather due to lack of inventing the balloon. This feat was accomplished by Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier, on 19 Sept. 1783.

I giggled over this. Don't judge me.
@BigDogg saidAppropriate or not, I think it's more about what it represents, given that it was a mark of adherence to a covenant between God and Abraham, and by extension, his people.

@the-grifter saidBut what did it mean before Abraham?

"Nothing" is the right answer.
