Charles and specifically Mark:
I refer you to my earlier response today. And Mark, logically, if Jewish
Christians were not removing their marks why would Paul address it? Of
course, the literature is quite full of such examples as I said earlier as
well as are rabbinic literatures which addresses it. I might add that this
issue was addressed (early Jewish Christians removing their mark) at Hebrew
Union, in embarassment I should add. I believe my friend Richard Oster even
documents such practices found on iconographies (but I am not certain on
this fact).
good seeing your're still around
