Just because words are written in black and white on paper, doesn`t make them true. No wonder America needs so many analysts -- the majority are screwed up on sex and religion. They take the written word and try to make the facts fit the word. For example, the creation, evolution, virgin birth. life after death etc.
We will never get closer to heaven than here right now, on earth. The only life after death is in your children -- teach them well, but base your teaching on fact rather than superstition !

So is this the church's official stance? That anyone who is circumcised cannot receive divine absolution? Anyone more versed in the faith than I know the answer?
Christians and the use of the word Christian first appear in the book of Acts, specifically Acts 11:26. The foundation of their faith is the belief in salvation through Jesus Christ which is not achieved through circumcision. This is what both your verse and Galatians 5:6 are stating. Galatians 5:6 "For in Jesus Christ there is neither circumcision, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
