>Jesus and circumcision
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5

Deuteronomy 10:16 - Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

Ephesians 2:11 - Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

John 6:63
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

>sees it as having a teleos distinct from religion.

Which is literally what Jesus taught, although I'm sure the Pharisees would love your religion = morality argument.

>God's existence guarantees that our thoughts are true and theism follows logically

Then explain crazy people? God's existence doesn't prevent them from being delusional their entire life. You may be just like them....

God's existence isn't sufficient to support his argument, he needs a whole bunch of other premises.

Why does Aristotle claim there can't be infinite regress? Aquinas' cosmological argument falls apart if it's possible for there to be such a thing. Is it because actual infinities are somehow contradictory? Also why is every cosmological argument except Leibniz's so bad?

Here's a discussion question for all Christposters:

Do Roman Catholics think the Pope is identical with God? I ask because, as a Catholic, I've never heard a Catholic acknowledge that this is the case, but I've heard many people who aren't Catholic claim that Catholics not only worship the Pope but think that the Pope is actually God. Acting as the Vicar of Christ and being identified with God don't seem quite the same; in fact, the 'Vicar' in the title even serves to illustrate a distance between the Pope and God.
So, Catholics, do we worship the Pope, or is everyone else just terribly misinformed?
Protestants and Orthodox are welcome

hope your next reincarnation works out better

There is only One form of Christianity - being born again in Christ, and only one Bible, the 1611 KJV. All other Bible versions are fakes created by Satanists that change, pervert, or delete scriptures. All organized religions are false, they are wolves in sheep's clothing that deceive the simple.

Of over 5,300 pieces of manuscript evidence, ninety-five percent supports the King James Bible! There is one true God, yet many false gods. There is one true Church, consisting of true born-again believers in Christ, yet there are many false churches. It is a well established fact that there are only two lines of Bibles: one coming from Antioch, Syria (known as the Syrian or Byzantine type text), and one coming from Alexandria, Egypt (known as the Egyptian or Hesycnian type text). The Syrian text from Antioch is the Majority text from which our King James 1611 comes, and the Egyptian text is the minority text from which the new perversions come. The manuscripts from Antioch were mostly copied by Bible-believing Christians for the purpose of winning souls and spreading the Word of God. The manuscripts from Alexandria, Egypt, were produced by infidels such as Origen Adamantius and Clement of Alexandria. These manuscripts are corrupted with Greek philosophy (Col. 2:8), and allegorical foolishness (not believing God's word literally).
