Mcaddydady: I reject your presumption that Paul is against circumcision.

RKC: What does Paul mean by saying "mutilate"?

Galatians 5
11 But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
12 I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!

Philippians 3
2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evil-workers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
3 For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.
