05/20/2022 Gonna hafta be a little more specific. JOKE-OGRAPHY:In the Bible story this is based on, Paul’s going around establishing and maintaining groups of followers. Some folks start telling the new followers of non-Jewish descent – the “Gentiles” – that they can’t be saved unless they follow all the old Jewish customs, particularly circumcision. The Gentiles are a little put off by this and appeal to Paul who sends messengers to Peter and company to get their judgment on the teachings. Peter sends word back that only a few of the customs must still be followed for the converts in question, circumcision not being one of them.In this cartoon, a Gentile asks Paul what customs they must follow. Paul answers with Peter’s list, which doesn’t include circumcision. The Gentile is relieved, not because of circumcision’s absence from the list, but instead because the list only has two items on it, which in his mind leaves all other forms of sin and debauchery as fair game. Of course, this is the wrong interpretation, though Paul may have a bit of trouble explaining that to the not-so-gentle Gentile. -- source link
