Hey there mcarmichael, I just saw that you had commented here in an my email notices,
No I do not have any problem answering peoples questions, so please feel free to ask when ever you like. But I will say that when it is someone else's thread that off topic stuff should be done in private messages or start a new thread and invite the person you wish to converse with to it. Anyway I will answer you questions here but we should from now on respect the original topic and carry on off topic stuff else where.
So, yes I use English translations of the EASTERN PeshittA (which is so not the Western PeshittO). But so far I have not seen any verses that would make me to believe any different on circumcision than I do now. Then again I have not been studying The Aramaic that long yet and may eventually find what it is you refer too. Have to wait and see, I guess.
Also, I think you would be right to assume that circumcision would not be a natural thing for a man to choose to do, but many a man has undergone just such as commanded in the Abrahamic Covenant. I personally might choose to be put to sleep before the procedure, but as I said it was done at birth for me so I have no need to worry.
