These Jewish guys told me if I really wanted to belong, I needed to get circumcised. Now, we get this letter from Paul saying it&#8217;s not required. Could&#8217;ve saved myself a lot of pain if I had been a little more patient. I still can&#8217;t walk normally.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small group of troublemakers has reportedly been traveling around to Christian churches throughout Asia Minor and telling believers they have to be circumcised. &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of messed up, actually,&#8221; Lucius said. &#8220;I was a little suspicious when one of the guys telling me I had to get circumcised kept giggling, but I really wanted to fit in, so I figured I should go ahead and do it. I just wish that letter had gotten here sooner. C&#8217;mon, Paul! You&#8217;re killing me here! OWW\u2026geez!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At publishing time, rumors persisted that the group claiming circumcision is necessary was considering kicking their practical joke up a notch to find out what other body parts they could convince people to cut off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAHAHA!
