Let's actually put down here for all to see what Gal 5:12 says instead
of hiding behind the quasi respectability of a biblical reference.

It says:

As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and
emasculate themselves!

Michael: Why don't you have the courage to say explicitly that Paul
would like Vernon to emasculate himself? And by what authority do you
claim that this is what Paul would say to Vernon? As far as I'm aware
from the context, which you have ignored, Paul was talking about
people who advocated circumcision. I may have missed something here,
but I've never been aware that Vernon has advocated circumcision.

Mr. Moderator: I just recently re-subscribed to ASA thinking I'd give
it another go, but regrettably I find that the behaviour of certain
individuals to be exactly the same as when I left the list in protest
some months back (and got a lot of sympathetic support from yourself
and others at the time). I don't think I'll be staying very long
unless something is done about this petulant and insulting behaviour
which spoils the atmosphere and is a poor witness to any
non-christians that look at the list.
