I know that circumcision is talking about cutting off our egoistic desires. The heart, why does Ezekiel 44:9 say Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in FLESH shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
Why also the flesh? If that is just a tradition, it seems to be saying that the flesh is mandatory. Sorry for beating this in the head…?
