hello OldSoul,
with regards to circumcision its not only the scripture but also science proven the fact:
Jehovah did not explain, nor was it necessary that he do so. His ways are always right; his reasons, the best. (2Sa 22:31) However, in recent years man has learned some of the physical reasons why the eighth day was a good time to circumcise. Normal amounts of the blood-clotting element called vitamin K are not found in the blood until the fifth to the seventh day after birth. Another clotting factor known as prothrombin is present in amounts only about 30 percent of normal on the third day but on the eighth day is higher than at any other time in the child’s life—as much as 110 percent of normal. So, following Jehovah’s instructions would help to avoid the danger of hemorrhage. As Dr. S. I. McMillen observes: "From a consideration of vitamin K and prothrombin determinations the perfect day to perform a circumcision is the eighth day . . . [the] day picked by the Creator of vitamin K."—None of These Diseases, 1986, p. 21.
just imagine if babies were already equiped with such blood clotting factor during birth, what will happen?
Actually I am having a hard time explaining what I knew and found...Hope you will take time understanding that I am a none native english speaker as well. But here goes.
haven't we see the connections during Adam, Moses, Daniel and other Biblical history? Its all about love and authority...In a father and son or parents and offsprings, will the parents not prevent a child from doing a dangerous things? but also parents made a balance in which they too wants their child to grow and love them naturally and not forcefully. How can we do that? is'nt one way is to show them your authority as parents then let them freely respond to it, thereby showing you in return the respect and love you want to see from them?
(Romans 5:19) For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners, likewise also through the obedience of the one [person] many will be constituted righteous.
Or another, in courting a Lady that you want to get married with, which is the most rewarding and completes the voids of their hearts ; forced a lady to love you? Or, the lady loves you naturally? its same for the ladies, which is the most loveliest thing that can happen to them; Love a man forced? or naturally loves a man they've chosen?
(Genesis 2:15-17) 15
And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of E´den to cultivate it and to take care of it.
16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.
17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die. . .
Another, good example was our current human society eating habits, did God told us to eat inorganic and artificially prepared foods? now compare the disease stats in the net with rise of artificial and inorganic foods...
lastly, God even if how many times we disobeyed him he still wants us to live. that's why he give provision :
(John 3:16) "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
Thanks and have a great weekends. . . . .
