Is God the father circumcised?

I was thinking about this today. Certainly, the Jewish Christ would have been. Was his father, though?

*snicker* this title had me doing a spit-take :)

I vote yes. God the Father, being an exhalted, resurrected man would almost definitely have been circumcised in mortality, right? I assume that on all planets where the true religion was practiced that the one chosen penis look would be enforced?? Considering it's holy origins surely it's how God's weiner looks, right? But it makes me wonder about all sorts of body modifications...

I don't think boob jobs and collagen lip injections will be perserved in exaltation but maybe those body parts will just naturally resurrect at the preferred plumpness and cup size?

Maybe the foreskin is a deformity brought on by the Fall of man?

This has occupied too much of my thoughts already!! Thanks man!

I have never thought of it, but I have wondered if He trims His nose hair. When I hear the words "God has a body of flesh and bones" I can't help adding, "and earwax, armpit hair and a scrotum," just to bring the whole concept down to my level.

But God the Mother(s) only have ONE set of ear piercings.

And since he is exhaulted, he is no TK-Smoothie either.

I think you should ask him. With a sincere heart, and real intent of course.

Hold on. We are told that quite explicitly that Jesus of Nazareth was circumcised in Luke chapter 2.

But we are also told that not an hair of your head perish and that the very hairs of your head are all numbered. This is part of the basis for the restoration of the body at the resurrection.

It makes me wonder, was Jesus still circumcised after he was resurrected?

Yes! Oops, I thought you asked if Luke’s father was circumcised.

Ask the brethren if Kellogg's cereal is prescribed in the WoW. It may shed some light on the situation:

Here's a particularly loving part of the practice:
The operation should be performed without administering an anaesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases.
Free will is a golden thread flowing through the matrix of fixed events.

So, Christ is no longer circumcised after he was resurrected. Was god the father ever resurrected?

Jesus was able to keep his piercings after the resurrection. I suppose he was able to decide for himself whether or not he wanted his foreskin back. I don't remember any scripture where anyone peeked under his robe to check, so I guess we don't know.

Jesus said he never did anything he didn't see if father do, so I would assume the father was circumcised as well. The only question is whether he got it repaired later or not. I guess I have to vote YES.

I do not often have visceral reactions to comments, but yours caught me off guard. I'll be happy to take this one on faith and testimony, not empircal observation.

This is FUNNY! It reminds me of a story. My Mom told me my 6 year old uncle went in for a tonsillectomy, and they decided to circumcise him at the same time. (This is around 1950) When he came to, he asked my Grandma, "Mommy, if they operated on my throat, how come my weenie hurts?" :D ;)
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Yes, as man is, God once was.

I like to imagine that Elohim was once a hygienically and intellectually challenged department store janitor named Delbert, who lived on another planet but eventually became the all-powerful and all-knowing master of the universe because he never drank tea and he always did his home teaching. His fellow department store workers lost their genitals and were damned eternally to a lesser kingdom because they said words worse than "fetch," and they didn't believe that Qubert Z. Dolfinkey was the true prophet of some other god who we don't know anything about. That's Mormonism in a nutshell.
