Sayings of Jesus--#53--Gospel of Thomas.

Namaste,

 

53) His disciples said to Him, "Is circumcision beneficial or

not?"

He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would

beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the

true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable."

 

Purport:O'Clery.

Any material thing isn't spiritual, so circumcision is just a

cultural ritual and not really important spiritually. Cutting one's

desires and need for material things is the true

circumcision....ONS..Tony.
